Taxonomic distribution and evolutionary analysis of the equol biosynthesis gene cluster
5 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Equol, an isoflavonoid metabolite with possible health benefits in humans, is known to be produced by some human gut bacteria. While the genes encoding the equol production pathway have been characterized in a few bacterial strains, a systematic analysis of the equol production pathway is currently lacking. RESULTS: This study presents an analysis of the taxonomic distribution and evolutionary history...
