Mucin Degradation in Human Colon Ecosystems: EVIDENCE FOR THE EXISTENCE AND ROLE OF BACTERIAL SUBPOPULATIONS PRODUCING GLYCOSIDASES AS EXTRACELLULAR ENZYMES

Recent work indicates that subpopulations of human fecal bacteria, averaging ∼1% of the total viable fecal flora, degrade the oligosaccharide side chains of hog gastric mucin, which structurally resembles human epithelial mucins. Here we report studies to determine whether degradation of mucin oligo...
