A functionally augmented carbohydrate utilization locus from herbivore gut microbiota fueled by dietary β-glucans
Abstract Gut microbiota members from the Bacteroidota phylum play a pivotal role in mammalian health and metabolism. They thrive in this diverse ecosystem due to their notable ability to cope with distinct recalcitrant dietary glycans via polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). Our study reveals tha...
