Occurrence and activity of human intestinal bacteria involved in the conversion of dietary lignans
T Clavel, D Borrmann, A Braune, J Doré, M Blaut - Anaerobe, 2006 - Elsevier
The human intestinal microbiota is necessary for the production of enterolignans from the
dietary lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). However, little is known about the
bacteria that contribute to SDG conversion. Therefore, we aimed at describing the
occurrence and activity of SDG metabolising bacteria. The data showed differences in
conversion efficiency between SDG deglycosylating species, but SDG was completely
deglycosylated within 20h by five of six strains. The strain Clostridium sp. SDG-Mt85-3Db …
