Dietary- and host-derived metabolites are used by diverse gut bacteria for anaerobic respiration
2022-12-27
Abstract excerpt
Respiratory reductases enable microbes to utilize molecules present in anaerobic ecosystems as energy-generating respiratory electron acceptors. Here we identify three taxonomically distinct families of human gut bacteria (Burkholderiaceae, Eggerthellaceae, Erysipelotrichaceae) that encode large arsenals of tens-to-hundreds of respiratory-like reductases per genome. Screening species from each family ( Sutterella...
