Convergent evolution of oxidized sugar metabolism in commensal and pathogenic microbes in the inflamed gut by Sophia Levy, Angela K. Jiang, Maggie R. Grant, Gabriela Arp, Glory Minabou Ndjite, Xiaofang Jiang, Brantley Hall

“…Our findings reveal a parallel phenomenon: oxidized sugars, also produced from reactions with nitric oxide, serve as alternative carbon sources for commensal microbes. Previously considered a pathogen virulence factor, oxidized sugar metabolism is also present in specific commensals and may contribute to their increased relative abundance in gastrointestinal inflammation.…”
