The gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals is lined with mucus that serves as a barrier between the gut microbiota and the epithelial layer of the intestine. As the proteins present in mucus are typically heavily glycosylated, such as the mucins, several enteric commensal and pathogenic bacterial species are well-adapted to this rich carbon source and their genomes are replete with carbohydrate-active enzymes targeted towards dismantling the glycans and proteins present in mucus. One such species is Clostridium perfringens, a Gr
