Enantioselective Dehydroxylation of Enterodiol and Enterolactone Precursors by Human Intestinal Bacteria
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
During the course of experiments on the transformation of lignans to phytoestrogenic substances, such as enterodiol (END) and enterolactone (ENL), a previously isolated bacterium, Eubacterium (E.) sp. strain SDG-2, capable of phenolic p-dehydroxylation in the biotransformation of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside to END and ENL, was concluded to be Eggerthella (Eg.) lenta (Eg. sp. SDG-2) on the basis of 16S rRNA...
