Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for eliminating the hydroxyl group at the 9-position of a urolithin to produce another kind of urolithin. This object is achieved by a method for producing a second urolithin, including Step (a): allowing, in a solution containing a first urolithin, a microorganism having an ability to produce the second urolithin from the first urolithin to produce the second urolithin from the first urolithin.
Claims18
A method for producing a second urolithin represented by the following General Formula (2), comprising the following Step (a):
- Step (a):
- allowing, in a solution containing a first urolithin represented by the following General Formula (1), a microorganism having an ability to produce the second urolithin represented by the following General Formula (2) from the first urolithin to produce the second urolithin from the first urolithin
- wherein R1 to R7 each represent a hydroxyl group, a hydrogen atom, or a methoxy group, and at least one of R1 to R7 represents a hydroxy group
- wherein R1 to R7 are identical to the R1 to R7, respectively, of the first urolithin represented by the General Formula (1),
- wherein the only microorganism in said solution having an ability to produce the second urolithin from the first urolithin is a microorganism belonging to the genus Clostridium.
