Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron metabolic activity decreases with polysaccharide molecular weight

ABSTRACT The human colon hosts hundreds of commensal bacterial species, many of which ferment complex dietary carbohydrates. To transform these fibers into metabolically accessible compounds, microbes often express a series of dedicated enzymes homologous to the starch utilization system (Sus) encod...
