Lactobacillus gasseri Gasser AM63T degrades oxalate in a multistage continuous culture simulator of the human colonic microbiota
16 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Colonic oxalate-degrading bacteria have been shown to play an important role in human kidney stone formation. In this study, molecular analysis of the Lactobacillus gasseri genome revealed a cluster of genes encoding putative formyl coenzyme A transferase (frc) and oxalyl coenzyme A decarboxylase (oxc) homologues, possibly involved in oxalate degradation. The ability of Lactobacillus gasseri Gasser AM63(T) to...
