  • Characterization of the polysaccharide utilization loci from two Bacteroides species from the human gut microbiota define biochemical and structural features underlying the catabolism of a hybrid algal polysaccharide found in edible seaweed.

  • Polysaccharides are the primary structural cell wall and energy storage molecules of seaweed. Here, the authors show how the geographically restricted dietary polysaccharide agarose is selectively utilized by the human intestinal bacterium Bacteroides uniformis, providing insight into how carbohydrate metabolism evolves within the human microbiome.

  • Hettle et al. investigate the ability of marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. to metabolise carrageenan, a polysaccharide abundant in red algae. They isolate and characterise previously unstudied strains and find that the recently identified κ/ι-carrageenan specific polysaccharide utilization locus (CarPUL) is required for growth on carrageenan, and biochemically map out many of the steps.
