These findings imply that protection against ulcerative colitis can be achieved through prebiotics like hydroquinone or probiotic therapy with bacteria like Streptococcus mitis, thus eliminating the need to smoke and all the associated risks for other diseases.

I wonder if PQQ works similarly. It's also a quinone, can flip back and forth between reduced and oxidized forms, marketed as a mitochondrial assisting nutrient. If I have time later, I'll do a pubmed search for "pqq human intestinal microflora pubmed" (note to self ;-)
