Abstract
stimulates metabolism and anaerobic growth of L. monocytogenes EGDe on rhamnose via BMC-dependent 1,2-propanediol utilization. Combined with metabolic and proteomics analysis, our discussion on the physiological effects and energy efficiency of BMC-driven rhamnose metabolism shed new light to understand the impact on L. monocytogenes competitive fitness in ecosystems such as the human intestine.
