Unravelling lactate-acetate conversion to butyrate by intestinal <i>Anaerobutyricum</i> and <i>Anaerostipes</i> species
2020-06-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The D-and L-forms of lactate are important fermentation metabolites produced by intestinal bacteria but have been found to negatively affect mucosal barrier function and human health. Of interest, both enantiomers of lactate can be converted with acetate into the presumed beneficial butyrate by a phylogenetically related group of anaerobes, including Anaerobutyricum and Anaerostipes spp. This i...
