A bifidobacterial enzyme orchestrates ecology and function of infant gut bacterial community

2026-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are abundant and structurally diverse glycans that shape the development of infant gut microbiota. Yet, how individual HMOs and bacterial genes drive the community assembly remain elusive. Here, we reconstructed an eight-member infant Bacterial Community (iBaCo) from representing dominant taxa in human infant feces. When individual HMOs were the sole carbohydrate source, they sho...
