Diversity and distribution of sulfur metabolic genes in the human gut microbiome and their association with colorectal cancer
19 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Recent evidence implicates microbial sulfidogenesis as a potential trigger of colorectal cancer (CRC), highlighting the need for comprehensive knowledge of sulfur metabolism within the human gut. Microbial sulfidogenesis produces genotoxic hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in the human colon using inorganic (sulfate) and organic (taurine/cysteine/methionine) substrates; however, the majority of studies...
