Happy to share our latest work by Shivani Gahlot and Subodh,
published in @febsj.bsky.social. We show that the amino acid Trp is highly toxic to C. elegans, and that this toxicity is driven by bacterial metabolism of Trp into indole.

Bacterial metabolism of tryptophan causes toxicity in C. elegans. E. coli takes up tryptophan and catabolizes it to indole via tryptophanase (TnaA). Indole can freely diffuse through lipid membranes ...
