Interesting, and it makes sense:
Rothia to the rescue:
"...With regard to duodenal Rothia enzyme activity, it is relevant that R. mucilaginosa gains a foothold in the duodenum [36]. This offers the intriguing possibility that Rothia may colonize the duodenum and perform proteolytic activities locally in conjunction with mammalian-derived enzymes to degrade gluten.
The
duodenum is the first part of the small intestine, and is one of the first organs to be damaged by wheat poisoning. A helpful bacteria digesting the toxic components of wheat would be a real asset...
