A glycyl radical enzyme enables hydrogen sulfide production by the human intestinal bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia [Microbiology]

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production in the intestinal microbiota has many contributions to human health and disease. An important source of H2S in the human gut is anaerobic respiration of sulfite released from the abundant dietary and host-derived organic sulfonate substrate in the gut, taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonate). However, the enzymes that allow...
