The dietary ellagitannin metabolite urolithin A is produced by a molybdenum-dependent dehydroxylase encoded by prevalent human gut <i>Enterocloster</i> spp

Abstract excerpt
Urolithin A (uroA) is a polyphenol derived from the multi-step metabolism of dietary ellagitannins by the human gut microbiota that can affect host health by stimulating mitophagy. Most individuals harbor a microbiota capable of uroA production; however, the mechanisms underlying the dehydroxylation of its catechol-containing dietary precursor (uroC) are unknown. Here, we use a combination of untargeted bacterial...
