Carbon dioxide and trace oxygen concentrations impact growth and product formation of the gut bacterium Phocaeicola vulgatus

Abstract Background The promising yet barely investigated anaerobic species Phocaeicola vulgatus (formerly Bacteroides vulgatus) plays a vital role for human gut health and effectively produces organic acids. Among them is succinate, a building block for high-value-added chemicals. Cultivating anaer...
