Abstract Symbiotic interactions between humans and our communities of resident gut microbes (microbiota) play many roles in health disease. Some bacteria utilize mucus as a nutrient source can under certain conditions damage the protective barrier it forms, increasing disease susceptibility. We investigated how Ruminococcus torques— known mucin-degrader that remains poorly studied despite its implication inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs)— degrades mucin glycoproteins or their component O...
Abstract The diets of industrialized countries reflect the increasing use processed foods, often with introduction novel food additives. Xanthan gum is a complex polysaccharide unique rheological properties that have established its as widespread stabilizer and thickening agent1. However, little known about direct interaction gut microbiota, which plays central role in digestion other, chemically-distinct dietary fiber polysaccharides. Here, we show ability to digest xanthan surprisingly...

January 01 2012 Performance & Science Marc Downie, Downie is one of the three artists in OpenEndedGroup, whose pioneering approach to digital art frequently combines signature elements: non-photorealistic 3-D rendering, incorporation body movement by motion-capture and other means, autonomy artworks directed or assisted artificial intelligence. In field dance, they have worked most closely with Merce Cunningham (Hand-drawn Spaces, Biped, Loops), Bill T. Jones (Ghostcatching After...

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study seeks to culture and characterize mucus-degrading microbes from the microbiome of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Stool will be collected IBD patients healthy first-degree relatives, then enriched for mucin-degrading through growth on porcine rectal mucin. Dilution plating in both liquid solid formats employed isolate strains capable Cultures that are positive mucin degradation identified with 16S rRNA sequencing; unique...
