Vitamin B is the only known essential human micronutrient made exclusively by prokaryotes. Kennedy and Taga introduce us to the world of cobamides-those cobalt-containing compounds, like B, that appear to be the proprietary domain of our microbial partners.
维生素 B 是唯一已知的、完全由原核生物制造的人类必需微量营养素。Kennedy 和 Taga 为我们介绍了 cobamides 的世界——这些含钴的化合物,如 B 族维生素,似乎是我们微生物伙伴的专有领域。
