Martens, E. C., Chiang, H. C. & Gordon, J. I. Mucosal glycan foraging enhances fitness and transmission of a saccharolytic human gut bacterial symbiont.

The saccharolytic bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a prominent member of the microbiota.

They rely on saccharolytic members of the microbiota, such as Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, to make this sugar freely available in the intestinal lumen.

These sugars are harvested by saccharolytic members of the microbiota, such as Bacteroidales in the gut, which makes them available to species within the microbiota that lack this capability26.
