Glycogen degrading activities of catalytic domains of α-amylase and α-amylase-pullulanase enzymes conserved in Gardnerella spp. from the vaginal microbiome
P. Bhandari, J. P. Tingley, D. W. Abbott, J. E. Hill
This study identifies and characterizes glycogen-degrading enzymes in Gardnerella spp. that break down glycogen into maltose, maltotriose, and maltotetraose, contributing to nutrient competition in the vaginal microbiome.
