Gordonibacter ⇒ Gordonibacter pamelaeae {50002691} Record Keys Parent:Gordonibacter Definition:Gordonibacter pamelaeae Details Initialisation date:[ ] Meta Information Rank: Species Domain: Bacteria Zone:[ ] Enzyme:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Ellagitannins] - The #Urolithins are an important class of bioactive microbial metabolites derived from ellagitannin and #Ellagic acid precursors. - Several bacterial species have been identified that produce their intermediate metabolites including #Gordonibacter urolithinfaciens and G. pamelaeae. [1.2] [#Cognitive impairment] [#Polyphenols, #Urolithins] - Gordonibacter pamelaeae, also has a unique metabolism that may affect the brain, as it can metabolize the polyphenol #Ellagic acid (found in pomegranates and some berries) into urolithin, which has been shown in some studies to have a neuroprotective effectReferences Notes[ ]
