Degradation of complex arabinoxylans by human colonic Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Human gut bacteria can degrade arabinoxylans, polysaccharides found in dietary fiber. Here, Pereira et al. identify a bacterial gene cluster encoding esterases for degradation of complex arabinoxylans.

Marine Bacteroidetes enzymatically digest xylans from terrestrial plants.
Environmental Microbiology, 2023 Marine Bacteroidetes that degrade polysaccharides contribute to carbon cycling in the ocean. Organic matter, including glycans from terrestrial plants, might enter the oceans through rivers.

Characterization of inositol lipid metabolism in gut-associated Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Nature Microbiology, 2022 Inositol lipids are ubiquitous in eukaryotes and have finely tuned roles in cellular signalling and membrane homoeostasis. In Bacteria, however, inositol lipid production is relatively rare.

Outer membrane utilisomes mediate oligosaccharide uptake in gut Bacteroidetes
Nature, 2023 A structural and functional analysis of the systems involved in oligosaccharide uptake in gut Bacteroidetes describes multicomponent complexes termed utilisomes that include pre-processing and transport subunits. Bacteroidetes are abundant members of the

Genome-Based Taxonomic Classification of Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes, characterized by a distinct gliding motility, occurs in a broad variety of ecosystems, habitats, life styles, and physiologies. Accordingly, taxonomic classification of the phylum, based on a limited number of features,

A novel class of polymorphic toxins in Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Life Science Alliance, 2020 Bacteria often use toxins to mediate their interaction with the environment. This study reveals a new class of polymorphic toxins, which contain an N-terminal TANFOR domain, in Bacteroidetes.

The Bacteroidetes Q-Rule: Pyroglutamate in Signal Peptidase I Substrates [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Bacteroidetes feature prominently in the human microbiome, as major colonizers of the gut and clinically relevant pathogens elsewhere. Here, we reveal a new Bacteroidetes specific feature in the otherwise widely conserved Sec/SPI (Sec translocase/signal ...
