Human gut Faecalibacterium prausnitzii deploy a highly efficient conserved system to cross-feed on β-mannan-derived oligosaccharides

L. J. Lindstad, G. Lo, S. A. Leivers…·S. L. La Rosa

This study identifies a conserved system in Faecalibacterium prausnitzii that enables efficient cross-feeding on β-mannan-derived oligosaccharides, enhancing butyrate production in the human gut.

Microbiota-directed fibre activates both targeted and secondary metabolic shifts in the distal gut.

L. Michalak, J. C. Gaby, L. Lagos…·B. Westereng

This study shows that a tailored acetylated galactoglucomannan fibre selectively activates butyrate-producing gut bacteria and triggers secondary metabolic shifts in neighboring microbial populations in pigs.

A pair of esterases from a commensal gut bacterium remove acetylations from all positions on complex β-mannans

L. Michalak, S. Leanti La Rosa, S. A. Leivers…·B. Westereng

This paper identifies two esterases from a gut bacterium that cooperatively deacetylate complex β-mannans, revealing their structural and functional mechanisms.
