Abstract Anaerobic bacteria from the human microbiome produce a wide array of molecules at high concentrations that can directly or indirectly affect the host. The production of these molecules, mostly derived from their primary metabolism, is frequently encoded in metabolic gene clusters (MGCs). Ho...
