Isolation and characterization of human intestinal Enterococcus avium EFEL009 converting rutin to quercetin

Abstract: Quercetin is a member of the flavonoids family reported to have better cytoprotective abilities, stronger inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production, and better chemoprevention than rutin. This is the first report on the isolation and characterization of Enterococcus avium EFEL009 from the human intestine which is capable of converting rutin to quercetin.

“…The production of quercetin by bacteria commonly found in food, as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, has been described in two Enterococcus strains (Schneider et al , ; Shin et al , ). In our work, just two B. breve and two B. pseudocatenulatum were able to produce quercetin, although a decrease on the glycoside isoquercetin was observed also for other Bifidobacterium strains.…”

“…Other bioavailability studies report plasma quercetin concentration from 50 nM up to 1.6 µM depending if subjects were consuming habitual diets, quercetin rich diets or the pure compound [3]. Quercetin is rapidly absorbed in the proximal parts of the gastrointestinal tract, whereas absorption of rutin occurs in the distal parts and is slow, since it must be hydrolyzed by the colonic microflora [3,4,63,64]. Like other flavonoids quercetin almost exclusively appears in the serum as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, which have been shown to retain their antioxidant properties and which are slowly eliminated (half-lives from 11 to 28 hrs have been reported) so that repeated intake of rutin and quercetin-containing diet might lead to accumulation of metabolites in blood [3,[63][64][65][66].…”

“…It is the aglycone of a number of flavonoid glycosides including rutin [3]. In the gut quercetin is formed through hydrolysis of rutin by intestinal microorganisms [4]. The pharmacological actions of rutin and quercetin include inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production, antioxidant, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, hepatoprotective and chemopreventive activities [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…[ 12,14 ] Most of the flavonoids in foods occur as glycosides, mainly O ‐glycosides but also C ‐glycosides ( Table 1 ). [ 14–42 ] Exceptions to this are flavan‐3‐ols, which are not conjugated but can form oligomeric and polymeric structures called proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins as a whole or procyanidins, prodelphinidins or propelargonidins when they are only composed of (epi)catechin, (epi)gallocatechin or (epi)azfelechin, respectively. Gut microbiota is able to breakdown the flavonoid C‐ ring in different positions, releasing a higher number of simple phenolics derived from A and B rings.…”
