Retrieved on: 
Friday, February 16, 2024

Hydrogen sulfide is the gas responsible for the rotten-egg odour that you come across near stagnant water and in drains.

Key Points: 
  • Hydrogen sulfide is the gas responsible for the rotten-egg odour that you come across near stagnant water and in drains.
  • Bilophila wadsworthia is one such species of these bacteria.
  • The bacteria that break down sulfur-containing organic matter and produce hydrogen sulfide are fittingly called sulfate-reducing bacteria.
  • Sulfate-reducing bacteria are an important part of the normal human gut microbiome, and small amounts of hydrogen sulfide are required in the human gut environment.
  • Bilophila wadsworthia was discovered in the 1980s, when it was found in people who had severe appendicitis.
  • The researchers found that it grew really well in bile, which is why the genus name is Bilophila (meaning bile loving).
  • Since then, research has associated Bilophila wadsworthia with negative effects in the gut.
  • It’s not clear how or why expansion of Bilophila wadsworthia can occur in the gut.
