Supplementary Figure 1: The inflammatory response in the mammalian gut leads to tetrathionate generation.
From: Engineered bacteria can function in the mammalian gut long-term as live diagnostics of inflammation
Cytokine signaling following an inflammatory insult leads to, among other responses, release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) into the gut lumen that inhibit microbial growth, and can oxidize thiosulfate, generated from hydrogen sulfide, to tetrathionate.
