Scientists uncover the gut’s hidden hydrogen engine and how it falters in Crohn’s disease

Study reveals that group B [FeFe]-hydrogenase is the primary enzyme driving fermentative hydrogen production in the healthy human gut, mainly through Bacteroides species. These genes are significantly depleted in Crohn’s disease, indicating a metabolic shift and altered hydrogen cycling dominated by respiratory bacteria
