Interaction Information:
Comment | The human gut microbiota contains more than 1,000 species and over 7,000 subspecies. Gut bacteria are able to produce active metabolites for human organ systems. For example; Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium synthesize gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from monosodium glutamate. Escherichia coli, Bacillus and Saccharomyces produce norepinefrin; Candida, Streptococcus, Escherichia and Enterococcus produce serotonin, and Bacillus and Serratia produce dopamine. |
