  "summary": "Mycobacteria synthesise the unusual glycan D-arabinan as a major component of the cell wall glycoconjugates arabinogalactan (AG) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM). We previously identified Dysgonomonas gadei, a member of the Bacteroidota, as capable of complete D-arabinan degradation through the concerted action of endo- and exo-acting enzymes. Among these are three glycoside hydrolase family 172…",
