This study identifies a nitrite-responsive regulatory RNA locus in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron that enhances resilience to nitrosative stress during intestinal inflammation.

This study engineers obligate anaerobic bacteria to tolerate oxygen, improving their survival in the gut.

This study shows how ETBF reprograms host metabolism to create an oxidative niche that supports its growth in the inflamed gut.

This study identifies an RNA that helps Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron adapt to the mucus-rich, iron-limited gut niche by regulating capsule gene expression.
