Mapping of the benzoate metabolism by human gut microbiome indicates food-derived metagenome evolution
Abstract Sodium benzoate is one of the widely used food preservatives and its metabolism in the human body has been studied only with the host perspective. Despite the human gut microbiome being considered as a virtual human organ, its role in benzoate metabolism is yet to be elucidated. The current...
