Abstract excerpt
Bacteroides species are successful colonizers of the human colon and can utilize a wide variety of complex polysaccharides and oligosaccharides that are indigestible by the host. To do this, they use enzymes encoded in polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). While recent work has uncovered the PULs required for the use of some polysaccharides, how Bacteroides utilize smaller oligosaccharides is less well studied....
