A Chemical Reaction Similarity-Based Prediction Algorithm Identifies the Multiple Taxa Required to Catalyze an Entire Metabolic Pathway of Dietary Flavonoids

The paper predicts and validates bacterial taxa capable of catalyzing the entire metabolic pathway of the flavonoid tilianin using a chemical reaction similarity-based algorithm.

A Chalcone Synthase-Like Bacterial Protein Catalyzes Heterocyclic C-Ring Cleavage of Naringenin to Alter Bioactivity Against Nuclear Receptors in Colonic Epithelial Cells

The paper identifies a bacterial enzyme that cleaves naringenin, altering its bioactivity against nuclear receptors in intestinal cells, and shows how gut microbiota influence flavonoid metabolism and inflammation.
