Multiple TonB Homologs are Important for Carbohydrate Utilization by <i>Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron</i>

2023-07-07

Abstract excerpt

The human gut microbiota is able to degrade otherwise undigestible polysaccharides, largely through the activity of the Bacteroides . Uptake of polysaccharides into Bacteroides is controlled by TonB-dependent transporters (TBDT) whose transport is energized by an inner membrane complex composed of the proteins TonB, ExbB, and ExbD. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron ( B. theta ) encodes 11 TonB homologs which are pr...
