Isolation and characterization of a novel choline degrading Citrobacter amalonaticus strain from the human gut

Gut microbiota metabolism can have profound effects on human health. Choline, a quaternary amine (QA) highly abundant in our diet, is canonically cleaved by a glycyl radical enzyme, choline trimethylamine lyase (CutC), and its SAM-dependent radical activator, CutD. CutC cleaves choline to form trime...
