Mucin foraging enables Akkermansia muciniphila to compete against other microbes in the gut and to modulate host sterol biosynthesis

2022-03-31

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Akkermansia muciniphila, a prominent member of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) microbiota, uses mucins as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen. A. muciniphila is considered a next-generation probiotic because its abundance in humans positively correlates with protection from metabolic syndrome and obesity. However, A. muciniphila is intractable to genetic analysis and thus the molecular...
