Distribution, organization and expression of genes concerned with anaerobic lactate-utilization in human intestinal bacteria. Distribution, organization and expression of genes concerned with anaerobic lactate-utilization in human intestinal bacteria

This study aimed to characterise the transcriptomic response of the lactate-utilizing bacteria, Coprococcus catus and Anaerobutyricum soehngenii, grown on varying carbon sources. This work has allowed for identification of divergent gene clusters in each species contributing to the lactate utilisation pathway.
