The human gut microbiome has a substantial impact on human health. Here, the authors find that prominent human gut microbes express functionally distinct surface endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases encoded by different polysaccharide utilization loci to optimally metabolize the same oligomannose N-glycan substrate in the gastrointestinal tract.
