Translational activity is uncoupled from nucleic acid content in bacterial cells of the human gut microbiota

Abstract excerpt

Changes in bacterial diversity in the human gut have been associated with many conditions, despite not always reflecting changes in bacterial activity. Methods linking bacterial identity to function are needed for improved understanding of how bacterial communities adapt and respond to their environment, including the gut. Here, we optimized bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) for the gut...
