Mutational analysis of Akkermansia muciniphila identified genes important for growth in mucin and gut colonization. Mucin-degrading capabilities are essential for the bacterium to compete with other members of the microbiota, and mucin metabolism by A.muciniphila resulted in reduced transcription of ...
Akkermansia muciniphila ( A. muciniphila ; Akk), a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium in the intestine, can potentially improve metabolic syndrome.This study investigated the effect and underlying mechanisms of an A. muciniphila subtype ( A. muciniphila sub ; Akk sub ) on OLZ-induced ...
