Genetic basis for the cooperative bioactivation of plant lignans by Eggerthella lenta and other human gut bacteria

Plant-derived lignans, consumed daily by most individuals, are thought to protect against cancer and other diseases(1); however, their bioactivity requires gut bacterial conversion to enterolignans(2). Here, we dissect a four-species bacterial consortium sufficient for all five reactions in this pat...
