A genetic system for Akkermansia muciniphila reveals a role for mucin foraging in gut colonization and host sterol biosynthesis gene expression
Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucophilic member of the gut microbiota, protects its host
against metabolic disorders. Because it is genetically intractable, the mechanisms …
