Molecular Dissection of Xyloglucan Recognition in a Prominent Human Gut Symbiont

Molecular Dissection of Xyloglucan Recognition in a Prominent Human Gut Symbiont

Polysaccharide utilization loci (PUL) within the genomes of resident human gut Bacteroidetes are central to the metabolism of the otherwise indigestible complex carbohydrates known as “dietary fiber.” However, functional characterization of PUL lags significantly behind sequencing efforts, which lim...
