Bacteria in the gut can modulate the availability and efficacy of therapeutic drugs. Interactions at this level have only recently started to being systematically mapped and the main underlying mechanism proposed is chemical transformation of drugs by microbes (biotransformation). Here, we invest...
Background: The use of sulfonamides (SAs) caused residual pollution in the environment. Bacteria play an important role in the degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics, and microbial consortium offers advantages over single bacterium. However, the complex degradation process and interaction mechani...
Cross-feeding is fundamental to the diversity and function of microbial communities. However, identification of cross-fed metabolites is often challenging due to the universality of metabolic and biosynthetic intermediates. Here, we use 13C isotope tracing in peptides to elucidate cross-fed metaboli...
