Our recent paper by @julkras.bsky.social provides further insights into the metabolism of sulfoquinovose in humans and lab mice, and its prebiotic potential. 🦠🧫 #microbesky #microbiomesky microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

🚨Spoiler alert ✅Only microbes can metabolize sulfoquinovose (SQ) - not the host ✅Specialized SQ fermenting bacteria in the gut not only produce acetate but also butyrate ✅A standard lab mouse is not an ideal model to study health impacts of SQ metabolism in humans 🦠🧫 #microbesky #microbiomesky
