The bioactivity of lignans depends on their transformation by gut bacteria. The intestinal bacteria Clostridium saccharogumia, Eggerthella lenta, Blautia producta and Lactonifactor longoviformis convert the plant lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside via secoisolariciresinol (SECO) into the bioactive enterolignans enterodiol (ED) and enterolactone

It has been investigated whether secoisolariciresinol (SECO) and anhydrosecoisolariciresinol (AHS), an acid degradation product of SECO, could be fermented in a similar way, and to a similar extent, by members of the intestinal microbiota. AHS and SECO were demethylated by
