Sulfoquinovose serves as a nutrient for gut microbiota, not for mice and humans, highlighting its prebiotic potential.
Sulfoquinovose (SQ) is a sulfonated form of glucose found in green diets. It acts as a selective substrate for certain bacteria in the human gut. These bacteria break down Sulfoquinovose without oxygen, passing metabolites to Sulfonate-respiring bacteria, which then produce hydrogen sulfide. The health effects of hydrogen sulfide vary based on the amount and situation.
