Male germ cell specific sulfogalactoglycerolipid is recognized and degraded by mycoplasmas associated with male infertility

Sulfogalactosylglycerolipid (SGG) is the major mammalian male germ cell glycolipid and has been implicated in sperm/egg binding. Mycoplasma pulmonis, a species of Mollicutes, is associated with male infertility in rodents.
