Elucidation of a unique sialic acid metabolism pathway in mucus-foraging Ruminococcus gnavus unravels mechanisms of bacterial adaptation to the gut

Sialic acid (Neu5Ac) is commonly found in terminal location of colonic mucins glycans where it is a much-coveted nutrient for gut bacteria including Ruminococcus gnavus.
