Metabolism of Daidzein and Genistein by Gut Bacteria of the Class <i>Coriobacteriia</i>

The intake of isoflavones is presumed to be associated with health benefits in humans, but also potential adverse effects of isoflavones are controversially discussed. Isoflavones can be metabolized by gut bacteria leading to modulation of the bioactivity, such as estrogenic effects. Especially bact...
