Oligosaccharide binding proteins from Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis reveal a preference for host glycans.
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) is a common member of the infant intestinal microbiota, and it has been characterized by its foraging capacity for human milk oligosaccharides (HMO).
