Hierarchical glycolytic pathways control the carbohydrate utilization regulator in human gut Bacteroides Human dietary choices control the gut microbiome. Industrialized populations consume abundant glucose and fructose, resulting in microbe-dependent intestinal disorders. Simple sugars inhibit the carbo...

How do Bacteroides thrive in the mammalian intestine? Like plants, they drive glycolysis using pyrophosphate rather than ATP to make fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Unlike most other bacteria, the ATP-dependent enzymes are completely dispensable for cell growth and instead direct a master regulator.
