The Food Additive Xanthan Gum Drives Adaptation of the Human Gut Microbiota

M. P. Ostrowski, S. Leanti La Rosa, B. J. Kunath, A. Robertson, G. Pereira, L. H. Hagen, N. J. Varghese, L. Qiu, T. Yao, G. Flint, J. Li, S. McDonald, D. Buttner, N. A. Pudlo, M. K. Schnizlein, , E. Martens

This study shows that xanthan gum, a common food additive, promotes the adaptation of the human gut microbiota by enabling a novel degradation pathway in an uncultured Ruminococcaceae bacterium and facilitating cross-feeding by Bacteroides species.
