Resolution of glycogen and glycogen-degrading activities reveals correlates of Lactobacillus crispatus dominance in a cohort of young African women

K. V. Lithgow, A. Cochinamogulos, K. Muirhead, S. Konschuh, L. Oluoch, N. Mugo, A. Roxby, L. K. Sycuro

The paper investigates glycogen and glycogen-degrading enzyme activity in vaginal microbiomes, finding that pullulanase activity correlates with Lactobacillus crispatus dominance and lactic acid production in young African women.
