An Expanded Genetic Code Enables Trimethylamine Metabolism in Human Gut Bacteria

ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been linked to animal-based diets, which are a major source of trimethylamine (TMA), a precursor of the proatherogenic compound trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). Human gut bacteria in the genus Bilophila have genomic signatures for genetic code expansion that c...
