Thiamine and the Microbiome

[Kia17]

There are two enzymes that occur in the human bowel, each of them being synthesized by a different microorganism. Although their function is poorly understood, a little explanation is necessary. Thiamine is constructed from two chemical rings. One is called a pyridinium ring and the other is called a thiazole, attached to each other by what is known as a methylene bridge (CH3). These enzymes attack the methylene bridge, separating the two rings and thus destroying the biochemical action of the vitamin.
