PUL-Mediated Plant Cell Wall Polysaccharide Utilization in the Gut Bacteroidetes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Plant cell wall polysaccharides (PCWP) are abundantly present in the food of humans and feed of livestock. Mammalians by themselves cannot degrade PCWP but rather depend on microbes resident in the gut intestine for deconstruction.

Microbiome and metabolic disease: revisiting the bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Medicine, 2016
Bacterial species composition in the gut has emerged as an important factor in obesity and its related metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Out of thousands of bacterial species-level phylotypes inhabiting the human gut, the majority belong to two dominant phyla, the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes.

Ecology of marine Bacteroidetes: a comparative genomics approach [PDF]

open access: yesISME Journal, 2013
Abstract Bacteroidetes are commonly assumed to be specialized in degrading high molecular weight (HMW) compounds and to have a preference for growth attached to particles, surfaces or algal cells. The first sequenced genomes of marine Bacteroidetes seemed to confirm this assumption. Many more genomes have been sequenced recently. Here, a

Bacteroidetes Neurotoxins and Inflammatory Neurodegeneration

Molecular Neurobiology, 2018
The gram-negative facultative anaerobe Bacteroides fragilis (B. fragilis) constitutes an appreciable proportion of the human gastrointestinal (GI)-tract microbiome. As is typical of most gram-negative bacilli, B. fragilis secretes an unusually complex mixture of neurotoxins including the extremely pro-inflammatory lipopolysaccharide BF-LPS. LPS (i) has

Progress in the investigation of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio as a potential pathogenic factor in ulcerative colitis.

Journal of Medical Microbiology
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that presents significant challenges in terms of treatment owing to a pronounced likelihood of recurrence and an elevated risk of cancer development, thereby imposing substantial risks

Bacteroidetes bacteria in the soil: Glycan acquisition, enzyme secretion, and gliding motility.

Advances in Applied Microbiology, 2020
The secretion of extracellular enzymes by soil microbes is rate-limiting in the recycling of biomass. Fungi and bacteria compete and collaborate for nutrients in the soil, with wide ranging ecological impacts.

Human Gut Bacteroidetes

The FASEB Journal, 2016
The human large bowel is colonized by a community of microbes, the microbiota, which has a significant impact on human health and nutrition through the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and by interaction with the host immune system. The major nutrients available to these organisms are dietary glycans, also known as complex carbohydrates ...

Interaction between Bacteroidetes species in the fermentation of Lycium barbarum arabinogalactan.

Food Chemistry, 2022
The present study investigated the utilization of an arabinogalactan from Lycium barbarum (LBP-3) by intestinal Bacteroidetes species. The mixed-culture assay showed 58.4 % LBP-3 was utilized, and Bacteroides caccae and Phocaeicola vulgatus utilized more

The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio of the human gut microbiota is associated with prostate enlargement

The Prostate, 2021
The pathophysiology of the prostate enlargement underlying lower urinary tract symptoms is unknown. Meanwhile, the gut microbiota can contribute to various host conditions. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota plays a role in prostate enlargement.
