“…This difference in stability may be a product of mutual relationships between bacteria essential to liberate or use fucosylated ABH blood-group antigens from the mucosal surfaces (Rakoff-Nahoum et al, 2016), especially when we consider that several of the structurally important bacteria can be influenced by fucosylated glycans, e.g. , Barnesiella (Weiss et al, 2014), Lactobacillus (Uchida et al, 2006), Odoribacter (Hardham et al, 2008; Nagai et al, 2010), Helicobacter (Magalhaes et al, 2009), or Robinsoniella (Cotta et al, 2009; Shen et al, 2010). Robustness differences associated to genotype or breeding direction may have consequences for host fitness when considering the potential for dysbiosis after environmental disturbances.…”
