Slackia isoflavoniconvertens is a bacterium from the genus of Slackia which has been isolated from faeces of a human from Nuthetal in Germany. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6] Slackia isoflavoniconvertens can metabolize daidzein and genistein, [6] two compounds in the class of isoflavones.
Equol (4',7-isoflavandiol) is an isoflavandiol estrogen metabolized from daidzein, a type of isoflavone found in soybeans and other plant sources, by bacterial flora in the intestines. While endogenous estrogenic hormones such as estradiol are steroids, equol is a nonsteroidal estrogen. Only about 30–50% of people have intestinal bacteria that make equol.
Dysgonomonas mossii is a Gram-negative and facultatively anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Dysgonomonas which has been isolated from an abdominal drainage from a human from the Holy Cross Hospital in Detroit in the United States.
Barnesiella intestinihominis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Barnesiella which has been isolated from human feces in Tokyo, Japan.
Parabacteroides johnsonii is a Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Parabacteroides which has been isolated from human faeces in Japan.
Porphyromonas bennonis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus Porphyromonas which has been isolated from human clinical specimens.
Porphyromonas catoniae is a Gram-negative and anaerobic bacterium from the genus Porphyromonas which has been isolated from the human gingival crevice.
Porphyromonas uenonis is a bacterium from the genus Porphyromonas which has been isolated from a human sacral decubitus ulcer in Los Angeles in the United States.
Propionibacterium acidifaciens is a Gram-positive, anaerobic and pleomorphic bacterium from the genus of Propionibacterium which has been isolated from a human oral cavity in London in England.
Ignavigranum ruoffiae is a Gram-positive and facultatively anaerobic bacteria from the family of Ignavigranum which has been isolated from a human wound in the United States.
