Article Snippet: Bile-salt-hydrolyzing activity of L. fermentum KC5b, S. bovis ATCC 43143, and E. faecalis UK873 in static batch cultures a Although L. fermentum reached a higher cell density than the other two strains, the final amount of free cholic acid (CA) liberated was smaller; therefore, the specific BSH activity rates were lower.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Growth and deconjugation of bile acids. Changes in pH (▵) and growth (OD650 nm) (▪) of L. fermentum KC5b (A), S. bovis ATCC 43143 (B), and E. faecalis UK873 (C) in MRS broth supplemented with 1 mM TCA (□) and 1 mM GCA (▴) are shown. Each point represents the mean of three trials; error bars represent standard deviations.
