“…A pseudocount was added to each count and log-transformed, ( To quantify the HS-catabolic capacity ( -) of each organism, i, with genes, g, we analyzed the expression of all glycosylation-related genes within the catabolic task. Adapted from metabolic task analysis (Richelle et al, 2018(Richelle et al, , 2019(Richelle et al, , 2020, the catabolic capacity of a microbe is a contextsensitive measure that accommodates rate-limiting or low-abundance enzymes and can therefore accommodate microbial gene transience. Activation of the glycan degrading metabolic task (Richelle et al, 2020), was calculated as the minimum EC activation; the maximum activation of genes performing the EC reaction within an organism.…”
