Transposase-Associated Variation near <i>tnaA</i> in <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> Is Linked to Indole Production and Virulence-Associated Gene Expression

Indole, a volatile metabolite produced by bacterial tryptophanase (encoded by <i>tnaA</i>) during tryptophan metabolism, contributes to oral malodor and may influence the progression of periodontitis. However, the genetic features underlying strain-specific indole production and its association with...
