Species code:	BACV8
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Bacteroidetes; Bacteroidetes (class); Bacteroidales; Bacteroidaceae; Bacteroides (TaxID: 435590) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacteroides vulgatus is a member of the normal distal human gut microbiota. The distal gut microbiota contain more bacterial cells than all of our body's other microbial communities combined. More than 90% of phylogenetic types belong to two divisions, the Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes, with the remaining types distributed among eight other divisions. B.vulgatus is the only sequenced Bacteroidetes that possesses a gene coding for a xylanase. It has the largest and most complete set of enzymes that target pectin.
