💡Check out our exciting discovery in gut microbial metabolism! Our latest work reveals a gut bacterial enzyme, bilirubin reductase (bilR), closing a critical knowledge gap in the heme degradation pathway. Out today in @NatureMicrobiol! A short 🧵: nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
BilR is a gut microbial enzyme that reduces bilirubin to urobilinogen

BilR is a gut microbial enzyme that reduces bilirubin to urobilinogen

Nature Microbiology - BilR is identified as a bilirubin reductase encoded by gut bacteria, which reduces bilirubin to urobilinogen.
