Description |
Bacteroides plebeius is a obligate anaerobic, Gram negative microbe found in the human gut. The microbe is believed to have obtained the gene for degradation of porphyran via horizontal gene transfer. Microbes in the gut are responsible for their production of carbohydrate active enzymes or CAZymes. B. plebeius has also been associated with Celiac disease.
