Quantitative assay to detect bacterial glycan-degrading enzyme activities in mouse and human fecal samples
Summary: The gut microbiome expresses a multitude of enzymes degrading polysaccharides in dietary plant fibers and in host-secreted mucus. The quantitative detection of these glycan-degrading enzymes in fecal samples is important to elucidate the functional activity of the microbiome in health and d...
