A Phase-Variable Surface Layer from the Gut Symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

30 Sept 2015

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The capsule from Bacteroides, a common gut symbiont, has long been a model system for studying the molecular mechanisms of host-symbiont interactions. The Bacteroides capsule is thought to consist of an array of phase-variable polysaccharides that give rise to subpopulations with distinct cell surface structures. Here, we report the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown surface structure in...
