Deglycosylation of isoflavone <i>C</i>‐glycosides by newly isolated human intestinal bacteria

Abstract

Two new puerarin-metabolising human intestinal bacteria were isolated and identified, and the deglycosylation activity for various flavonoid glycosides was investigated. The results could facilitate the study of C-glycosidase reaction mechanisms, as well as the pharmacokinetics of bioactive C-glycoside natural products.
