Editorial Note on Mucin Degraders of the Human Gut Microbiota

Jennifer Chennat

Mucins are huge glycoproteins including about 80% of heterooligosaccharides. Gut mucin degraders of healthful topics have been investigated, via a tradition structured and unbiased approach. The faeces of 5 healthful adults have been subjected to 3 steps of anaerobic enrichment in a medium with sole mucins as carbon and nitrogen sources. The bacterial network become in comparison earlier than and after the enrichment via way of means of 16S rRNA gene profiling. Bacteria able to fermenting sugars, together with Anaerotruncus, Holdemania.
