Characterization of <i>Klebsiella</i> sp. strain S1: a bacterial producer of secoisolariciresinol through biotransformation
29 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
Secoisolariciresinol (SECO) is a lignan of potential therapeutic value for diseases such as cancer, but its use has been limited by the lack of ideal production methods, even though its precursors are abundant in plants, such as flaxseeds. Here, we report the characterization of a bacterial strain, S1, isolated from the human intestinal flora, which could produce secoisolariciresinol by biotransformation of...
