Intestinal bacteria-derived tryptamine and its impact on human gut microbiota

Abstract excerpt

Tryptamine, a neuromodulator derived from tryptophan, has been shown to significantly impact the host gut homeostasis through its production by the gut microbiota. However, the characterization of tryptamine-producing gut bacteria remains limited, the factors regulating tryptamine production largely unexplored, and its effects on the rest of the gut microbial community unknown. In this study, we screened 13...
