Rhodoquinone biosynthesis in C. elegans requires precursors generated by the kynurenine pathway

Parasitic helminths infect over a billion humans. To survive in the low oxygen environment of their hosts, these parasites use unusual anaerobic metabolism — this requires rhodoquinone (RQ), an electron carrier that is made by very few animal species.
