Unravelling the specificity and mechanism of sialic acid recognition by the gut symbiont Ruminococcus gnavus

Unravelling the specificity and mechanism of sialic acid recognition by the gut symbiont Ruminococcus gnavus

The mucus layer is an important physical niche within the gut which harbours a distinct microbial community. Here the authors show that specific carbohydrate-binding modules associated with bacterial carbohydrate-active enzymes are mucus adhesins that target regions of the distal colon rich in sialo...
