• W4324307160 abstract "Multiple Gardnerella species frequently cooccur in vaginal microbiomes, and several factors, including competition for nutrients such as glycogen could determine their population structure. Although Gardnerella spp. can hydrolyze glycogen to produce glucose, maltose, maltotriose, and maltotetraose, how these sugars are transported and utilized for growth is unknown. We determined the distribution of genes encoding transporter proteins associated with the uptake of glucose, maltose, and malto-oligosaccharides and maltodextrins among Gardnerella species. A total of five different ABC transporters were identified in Gardnerella spp. of which MusEFGK2I and MalXFGK were conserved across all 15 Gardnerella isolates. RafEFGK and TMSP (trehalose, maltose, sucrose, and palatinose) operons were specific to G. vaginalis while the MalEFG transporter was identified in G. leopoldii only. Although no glucose specific sugar-symporters were identified, putative glucose/galactose porters and components of a phosphotransferase system were identified. In laboratory experiments, all Gardnerella isolates grew more in the presence of glucose, maltose, maltotriose, and maltotetraose compared to unsupplemented media. In addition, most isolates (10/15) showed significantly more growth on maltotetraose compared to glucose (Kruskal Wallis, P < 0.05) suggesting their preference for longer chain malto-oligosaccharides. Our findings show that although putative MusEFGK2I and MalXFGK transporters are found in all Gardnerella spp., some species-specific transporters are also present. Observed distribution of genes encoding transporter systems was consistent with laboratory observations that Gardnerella spp. grow better on longer chain malto-oligosaccharides. IMPORTANCE Increased abundance of Gardnerella spp. is a diagnostic characteristic of bacterial vaginosis, an imbalance in the human vaginal microbiome associated with troubling symptoms and negative reproductive health outcomes, including increased transmission of sexually transmitted infections and preterm birth. Competition for nutrients is likely an important factor in causing dramatic shifts in the vaginal microbial community. Gardnerella produces enzymes to digest glycogen, an important nutrient source for vaginal bacteria, but little is known about the mechanisms in Gardnerella for uptake of the products of this digestion, or whether Gardnerella use some or all of the products. Our results indicate that Gardnerella may have evolved to preferentially use a subset of the glycogen breakdown products, which would help them reduce direct competition with some other bacteria in the vagina." @default.
