Conversion of dietary inositol into propionate and acetate by commensal Anaerostipes associates with host health
Here, the authors report an anaerobic metabolic pathway from the dominant gut butyrogen Anaerostipes, showing several strains of this genus to be capable of producing propionate from dietary myo-inositol that associates with reduced fasting-glucose levels in mice.
