Combining sequence-based approaches with anaerobic microbiology and modelling to understand gut microbial communities.

Investigation into gut microbial communities conducted by Harry Flint and his research group found extracellular cellulosome and amylosome enzyme complexes were found to mediate the breakdown of plant cell walls and resistant starch by specialised Firmicutes bacteria, both in the human colon and in the rumen.
