A genetically adaptable strategy for ribose scavenging in a human gut symbiont plays a diet-dependent role in colon colonization

Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Efficient nutrient acquisition in the competitive human gut is essential for microbial persistence. While polysaccharides have been well-studied nutrients for the gut microbiome, other resources such as co-factors and nucleic acids have been less examined. We describe a series of ribose utilization systems (RUSs) that are broadly represented in Bacteroidetes and appear to have diversified to allo...
