Metabolism of multiple glycosaminoglycans by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is orchestrated by a versatile core genetic locus

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are an important nutrient source for the gut microbiome. Here, the authors characterize the genetic loci that underpins glycosaminoglycan utilization in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron; providing insights into the metabolism of GAGs by a predominant member of the gut microbiot...
