Discovery of an ene-reductase for initiating flavone and flavonol catabolism in gut bacteria

Flavonoids are abundant polyphenols in plants but it is not well understood how their metabolism is initiated by microbes in the human gut. Here, the authors identify and characterise an ene-reductase from the gut bacterium, Flavonifractor plautii ATCC 49531 that catalyses the hydrogenation of the C...
