Popis: A survey of 30 representative strains of human gram-positive intestinal bacteria indicated that Roseburia species were among the most active in metabolizing linoleic acid ( cis -9, cis- 12-18:2). Different Roseburia spp. formed either vaccenic acid ( trans- 11-18:1) or a 10-hydroxy-18:1; these compounds are precursors of the health-promoting conjugated linoleic acid cis- 9, trans- 11-18:2 in human tissues and the intestine, respectively.
