Deskripsi
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 microbiota.
