Elevated serum levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) are reported to promote the development of atherosclerosis. TMAO is produced by hepatic oxidation of trimethylamine (TMA) produced by the gut microbiome from dietary quaternary amines such as choline. Net TMA production in the gut depends on microbial enzymes that either produce or consume TMA and its precursors. Here we report the elucidation of a novel microbial pathway consuming choline without TMA production. The human gut acetogen Eubac ...[more]
