Nutritionally limited pectinolytic bacteria from the human intestine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A selective procedure was used to isolate pectinolytic intestinal bacteria from human subjects. The three isolates with the greatest pectinolytic activity utilized pectin and a few related compounds as fermentable substrates for growth but did not utilize any other compound tested. Thus, their substrate utilization pattern was markedly different from that of previously described intestinal pectinolytic isolates. The three isolates are representatives of a nutritionally defined group of bacteria for which the term pectinophilic is proposed.

A mino acids (AAs) 3 are organic compounds that contain amino and acid groups (1). Based on the configuration of glyceraldehyde (Lor D-isomers as introduced by Emil Fischer in 1908), AAs (except for Gly, taurine, b-alanine, and g-aminobutyrate, which have no asymmetric carbon) exist as either Lor D-AAs. L-AAs are much more abundant than D-AAs in nature and are the physiologic isomers in animal ...

Bacteria that colonize the mammalian intestine collectively possess a far larger repertoire of degradative enzymes and metabolic capabilities than their hosts. Microbial fermentation of complex non-digestible dietary carbohydrates and host-derived glycans in the human intestine has important consequences for health. Certain dominant species, notably among the Bacteroidetes, are known to possess...
