Scientists have discovered the enzyme responsible for the yellow color of urine, solving a century-old mystery. The study, led by Brantley Hall from the University of Maryland, was published in Nature Microbiology. The research sheds light on the importance of a healthy gut microbiome. The discovery provides insight into the chemical composition of urine, a topic that has intrigued scientists for over a century.
