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.
