Glycogen {90000546} Record Keys Parent:[ ] Definition:Glycogen Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:[ ] Specification: [ ]Source: [ ] Meta Information Structural Type:[ ] Functional Type:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Normal Vaginal condition] [#Lactobacillus crispatus] - L. crispatus PulA is active at the low pH values (~3.5–4) associated with vaginal health. This enzymatic activity may therefore enable L. crispatus to access glycogen under conditions where the human amylase is minimally active and the growth of competing bacteria is inhibited. [#Normal Vaginal condition] [#Lactobacillus gasseri, #Lactobacillus jensenii] - glycogen degradation has never been reported for L. gasseri or L. jensennii [1.2] [#Bacteroides cellulosilyticus, #Bacteroides ovatus, #Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron] - Genes involved in glycogen storage were significantly upregulated in B. ovatus, B. cellulosyliticus and B. thetaiotaomicron, during intestinal colonization in mice. [#Escherichia coli] - E. coli mutants which lack genes for glycogen accumulation are not able to colonize the murine GIT. - Specific genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, including glgB (glucan branching enzyme), were highly expressed by #Fusobacteria. - Glycogen metabolism and, particularly, degradation, affect biofilm formation [#Lactobacillus acidophilus] - The ability of L. acidophilus to synthesize and store intracellular glycogen was shown to support long-term colonization in the murine GIT > provides a competitive advantage that supports gut colonization. - Glycogen accumulation in #Salmonella enterica is important for biofilm formation to increase its virulence capacity. [1.3] [#Short Chain Fatty Acid] [#Organophosphorus] - the production of SCFAs, specifically #Acetate, has been observed during bacterial degradation of OP pesticides. - #Acetate has been shown to enhance glycogen repletion in liver and skeletal muscle and to account for #Glucose intoleranceReferences Notes[ ]
