Metabolism of Soy Isoflavones by Intestinal Bacteria: Genome Analysis of an <i>Adlercreutzia Equolifaciens</i> Strain That Does Not Produce Equol

Isoflavones are transformed in the gut into more estrogen-like compounds or into inactive molecules. However, neither the intestinal microbes nor the pathways leading to the synthesis of isoflavone-derived metabolites are fully known. In the present work, 73 fecal isolates from three women with an e...
