This project explores the role of the symbiotic bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in the human intestine, focusing on its ability to degrade complex carbohydrates. It aims to understand how these bacteria influence human health by altering nutrient availability and potentially affecting metabolism.
The human intestine is colonized by over 10 trillions symbiotic bacteria which play a critical role in human health such as preventing inflammation and cancer.
These microorganisms hydrolyse complex carbohydrates polymers from our diet that are not degraded by “our” own enzymes and thus, in addition to preventing cancer and inflammation, increase the nutrients available to the human host.
Indeed, recent studies have shown that the composition of the microorganisms in the large intestines influe…
