Carbohydrate esterases involved in deacetylation of food components by the human gut microbiota Open
Non-carbohydrate modifications such as acetylations are widespread in food stuffs as well as they play important roles in diverse biological processes. These modifications meet the gut environment and are removed from their carbohydrate su…

Human Gut Faecalibacterium prausnitzii Deploys a Highly Efficient Conserved System To Cross-Feed on β-Mannan-Derived Oligosaccharides Open
Commensal butyrate-producing bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes phylum are abundant in the human gut and are crucial for maintaining health. Currently, insight is lacking into how they target otherwise indigestible dietary fibers and int…

Human gut<i>Faecalibacterium prausnitzii</i>deploy a highly efficient conserved system to cross-feed on β-mannan-derived oligosaccharides Open
β-Mannans are hemicelluloses that are abundant in modern diets as components in seed endosperms and common additives in processed food. Currently, the collective understanding of β-mannan saccharification in the human colon is limited to a…

A pair of esterases from a commensal gut bacterium remove acetylations from all positions on complex β-mannans Open
β-mannans and xylans are important components of the plant cell wall and they are acetylated to be protected from degradation by glycoside hydrolases. β-mannans are widely present in human and animal diets as fiber from leguminous plants a…
