Distribution, organization and expression of genes concerned with anaerobic lactate-utilization in human intestinal bacteria
2021-04-04
Abstract excerpt
Lactate accumulation in the human gut is linked to a range of deleterious health impacts. However, lactate is consumed and converted to the beneficial short chain fatty acids butyrate and propionate by indigenous lactate-utilizing bacteria. To better understand the underlying genetic basis for lactate utilization, transcriptomic analysis was performed for two prominent lactate-utilizing species from the human gut,...
