A widespread hydrogenase drives fermentative growth of gut bacteria in healthy people
2024-08-15
Abstract excerpt
Molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) is among the most central, but least understood, metabolites in the human gastrointestinal tract (gut). H 2 gas is produced in large quantities during bacterial fermentation and consumed as an energy source by bacteria and archaea. Disruption of H 2 cycling is linked to gastrointestinal disorders, infections, and cancers, with H 2 used as an indicator of gut dysfunction through breath...
