Interindividual Diversity of Human Gut Mucin-Degrading Microbial Consortia
2023-05-13
Abstract excerpt
Mucin is a glycoprotein secreted throughout the mammalian gastrointestinal tract that can support endogenous microorganisms in the absence of complex polysaccharides. While diverse mucin degrading bacteria have been identified, the individual host microbial community differences capable of metabolizing this complex polymer are not well described. To determine whether individuals have taxonomically distinct but fun...
