Dual Membrane-spanning Anti-Sigma 2 Controls OMV biogenesis and Colonization Fitness in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Evan J. Pardue, Tengfei Zhong, Nichollas E. Scott, Biswanath Jana, Wandy L. Beatty, Juan Cesar Federico Ortiz-Marquez, Mohammed Kaplan, Clay D. Jackson-Litteken, Mario F. Feldman

This study investigates the role of Dma2 in OMV biogenesis and colonization fitness in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, showing that dma2 mutation increases OMV production and affects polysaccharide utilization loci expression, leading to reduced colonization fitness.
