Exploring the trimethylamine-degrading genes in the human gut microbiome by Yi-Ran Chen, Li-Dan Chen, Lin-Jie Zheng

“…We constructed gene databases for genes involved in the anaerobic dehydrogenase pathway (1526 sequences for dmd-tmd, 1319 sequences for mauA, and 326 sequences for mauB, respectively) and the aerobic oxidation pathway (2146 sequences for tmm, 1445 sequences for tdm, and 1519 sequences for dmm, respectively) based on genomes from the Integrated Microbial Genome (IMG) database, most of which belong to Pseudomonadota. Screening gut metagenomes with these databases revealed low sequence identity (< 70%), possibly because of the underrepresentation of gut-specific genomes from IMG. …”
