Adaptations of gummivorous primate gut-associated bifidobacteria to type-II arabinogalactan utilisation.
This study demonstrates that several Bifidobacterium species residing in the gut of gummivorous primates, such as marmosets, possess previously uncharacterised pathways for the efficient utilisation of type-II arabinogalactan (AG), the major polysaccharide component of tree gums.
