A discrete genetic locus confers xyloglucan metabolism in select human gut Bacteroidetes
A genetic locus from the gut symbiont Bacteroides ovatus is identified and described that encodes a cohort of enzymes and carbohydrate-binding proteins necessary for the metabolism of xyloglucans—a predominant co...
