Diversity and distribution of sulfur metabolic genes in the human gut microbiome and their association with colorectal cancer

Abstract Background Recent evidence implicates microbial sulfidogenesis as a potential trigger of colorectal cancer (CRC), highlighting the need for comprehensive knowledge of sulfur metabolism within the human gut. Microbial sulfidogenesis produces genotoxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the human colo...
