BEEM SEMINAR: Dr David Bolam, Newcastle University - Title: 'Understanding the basis for nutrient acquisition by prominent members of the human gut microbiota'

Bacteroidetes are dominant members of the colonic microbiota and as such play a key role in health and nutrition. In this talk Dr Bolam will discuss some recent work from his lab that provides mechanistic insight into nutrient import by Bacteroidetes spp, which is of major significance for understanding the human-microbiota symbiosis.
