The lower digestive tract hosts many microorganisms, collectively called the gut microbiome.
In people with Parkinson's disease, the balance of microbes in the gut shifts.
E. coli can use nitrate for fuel, and in the process, it turns it into nitrite.
Nitrate reacts with iron, adding oxygen, or "oxidizing" it.
The oxidized iron then oxidizes dopamine, causing it to clump.
