Gut Bacteria Metabolize Natural and Synthetic Steroid Hormones via the Reductive OsrABC Pathway

2024-10-09

Abstract excerpt

Steroid hormone metabolism by the gut microbiome affects host physiology, but the underlying microbial pathways remain incompletely understood. Here, we isolate a novel human gut bacterium, Clostridium steroidoreducens T strain HCS.1 that reduces cortisol and related steroid hormones to 3β,5β-tetrahydrosteroid products. Through transcriptomics and enzymatic discovery, we establish the C. steroidoreducens OsrABC...
