Bacteroidaceae is a family of obligate anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria in the order Bacteroidales. The dominant genus is Bacteroides, which includes B. fragilis, B. vulgatus, B. thetaiotaomicron, and B. uniformis. Bacteroidaceae are among the most abundant gut bacteria, specializing in complex polysaccharide degradation and bile acid metabolism.

Key Roles#
Polysaccharide degradation: Extensive PUL (polysaccharide utilization loci) systems for dietary fiber and host glycan breakdown. Bile acid metabolism: Bile salt hydrolases deconjugate primary bile acids.
