Mucin-derived <i>O</i> -glycans supplemented to diet mitigate diverse microbiota perturbations
2020-06-11
Abstract excerpt
Microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs) are powerful modulators of microbiota composition and function. These substrates are often derived from diet, such as complex polysaccharides from plants or human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) during breastfeeding. Host-derived mucus glycans on gut-secreted mucin proteins may serve as a continuous endogenous source of MACs for resident microbes; here we investigate the pot...
