This study identifies an RNA that helps Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron adapt to the mucus-rich, iron-limited gut niche by regulating capsule gene expression.

This study identifies RbpB as a key RNA-binding protein regulating polysaccharide utilization in gut Bacteroides through post-transcriptional control of PULs.

The paper identifies a small RNA, MasB, that increases Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron tolerance to tetracyclines by modulating gene expression under antibiotic stress.
