Bacterial Glycogen as a Durable Energy Reserve Contributing to Persistence: An Updated Bibliography and Mathematical Model

Abstract: Glycogen is conventionally viewed as a transient energy reserve that can be rapidly synthesized for glucose accumulation or mobilized for ATP production and blood glucose homeostasis in higher organisms. However, this understanding is not completely applicable to prokaryotes due to glycogen structural heterogeneity. A number of studies have noted that glycogen with short average chain length g c in bacteria has the potential to degrade slowly, which might prolong bacterial survival in the environment and thus … Show more

“…Bacteria have a passive energy saving strategy to adapt to cold environmental conditions such as nutrient deprivation, by using a slow glycogen degradation. Glycogen has the hypothesis of durability energy reserves, which have been reported as a Durable Energy Storage Mechanism (DESM) to account for the long-term survival of some bacteria in cold environments [44]. Metabolism of maltodextrin has been linked with osmoregulation and sensitivity of bacterial endogenous induction to hyperosmolarity, which is related to glycogen metabolism.…”
