Importance of Bacteroidetes in host–microbe interactions and ecosystem functioning
Bacteroidetes are prevalent in soil ecosystems and are associated with various eukaryotic hosts, including plants, animals, and humans. The ubiquity and diversity of Bacteroidetes exemplify their impressive versatility in niche adaptation and genomic ...

Bacteroidetes Species Are Correlated with Disease Activity in Ulcerative Colitis
Fecal microbiota transplantation following triple-antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin/fosfomycin/metronidazole) improves dysbiosis caused by reduced Bacteroidetes diversity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).

Bacteroidetes use thousands of enzyme combinations to break down glycans
Unlike proteins, glycan chains are not directly encoded by DNA, but by the specificity of the enzymes that assemble them. Theoretical calculations have proposed an astronomical number of possible isomers (> 1012 hexasaccharides) but the actual diversity ...
