Abstract:The study of specific glycan uptake and metabolism has been shown to be an effective tool in aiding with the continued unravelling of the complexities in the human gut microbiome. To this aim fluorescent labelling of glycans may provide a powerful route towards target. In this study, we successfully used the fluorescent label 2-aminobenzamide (2-AB), most commonly employed for enhancing the detection of protein anchored glycans, to monitor and study microbial degradation of labelled glycans. Both single strain… Show more
