Environmental factors drive bacterial degradation of gastrointestinal mucus

2025-01-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The mucus layer lining the gastrointestinal tract is essential for gut health, providing a protective barrier against pathogens while maintaining symbiosis with the microbiome. Its disruption is a hallmark of gastrointestinal diseases like ulcerative colitis. While glycan foraging by gut bacteria is thought to initiate mucus disruption, its impact on mucus structural properties remains poorly un...
