A genetic locus in the gut microbe <i>Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron</i> encodes activities consistent with mucin-O-glycoprotein processing and plays a critical role in <i>N</i> -acetylgalactosamine metabolism

2024-02-02

Abstract excerpt

It is increasingly appreciated that members of the gut microbiota are key modulators of human health and the status of major diseases including cancer, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. Central to their survival is the ability to metabolise complex dietary and host-derived glycans including intestinal mucins. The latter are critical components of the gut epithelium glycocalyx and mucus barriers, essential f...
