A widely distributed metalloenzyme class enables gut microbial metabolism of host- and diet-derived catechols. [PDF]
, 2020 Catechol dehydroxylation is a central chemical transformation in the gut microbial metabolism of plant- and host-derived small molecules. However, the molecular basis for this transformation and its distribution among gut microorganisms are poorly ...

Human Stool Preservation Impacts Taxonomic Profiles in 16S Metagenomics Studies
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Microbiotas play critical roles in human health, yet in most cases scientists lack standardized and reproducible methods from collection and preservation of samples, as well as the choice of omic analysis, up to the data processing. To date, stool sample

Dietary interactions with the bacterial sensing machinery in the intestine
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 There are millions of microbes that live in the human gut. These are important in digestion as well as defense. The host immune system needs to be able to distinguish between the harmless bacteria and the pathogens.
