The cellular location of endo-acting galactanases confers keystone or recipient status to arabinogalactan degrading organisms of human gut microbiota.

Glycans, the major source of energy for the human gut microbiota (HGM), are metabolized primarily by the Bacteroides genus. Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are a higher heterogenous group of plant glycans in which the ?1, 3-galactan backbone and ?1, 6-galactan side chains are conserved features.
