FIG 1 — (A) Organization of gene clusters encoding ABC transporters of maltose, malto-oligosaccharides and maltodextrins in Gardnerella genomes. Gene clusters identified in representative isolates of G. vaginalis NR038 (MusEFGK₂I, MalXFGK, RafEFGK and TMSP), G. swidsinskii NR020 (MusE₂FGK₂I) and G. leopoldii NR017 (MalEFG) are shown. FBP: Fructose 1,6 biphosphatase, SBP: substrate binding protein, RP: regulatory protein, PERM: permease, GH13_14: pullulanase, GH13_23, GH13_44: α-glucosidase, HP: hypothetical protein, GH13_20: α-amylase, LacIR: LacI repressor. Hypothetical proteins in the MusEFGK₂I and MusE₂FGK₂I gene clusters are indicated in orange. (B) Prevalence of ABC transporters of maltose, malto-oligosaccharides and maltodextrin in three isolates each of G. leopoldii (GL), G. piotii (GP), G. swidsinskii (GS), G. vaginalis (GV) and others (two isolates of genome sp. 3 and one isolate of unknown genome species).
