A metabolic pathway for glucosinolate activation by the human gut symbiont <i>Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron</i>
2019-05-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Diet is the largest source of plant-derived metabolites that influence human health. The gut microbiota can metabolize these molecules, altering their biological function. However, little is known about the gut bacterial pathways that process plant-derived molecules. Glucosinolates are well-known metabolites in brassica vegetables and metabolic precursors to cancer-preventive isothiocyanates. He...
