Mining the human gut microbiome identifies mycobacterial d-arabinan degrading enzymes

2022-07-23

Abstract excerpt

Division and degradation of bacterial cell walls requires coordinated action of a myriad of enzymes. This particularly applies to the elaborate cell walls of acid-fast organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis , which consist of a multi-layered cell wall that contains an unusual glycan called arabinogalactan. Enzymes that cleave the d -arabinan core of this structure have not previously been identified in any...
