Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison table of the average composition ratio (%) of 15 biliary bile acids in CCA, BBD and PC patients.

Article Snippet: Glycolithocholic acid (GLCA), tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA) were obtained from Carbosynth (Berkshire, UK) and glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA) and taurolithocholic acid (TLCA) were purchased from Santa Cruz (TX, USA).

Article Title: Evaluation of the Probiotic Properties and the Capacity to Form Biofilms of Various Lactobacillus Strains

doi: 10.3390/microorganisms8071053

Figure Lengend Snippet: Bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activities. The six strains were tested for their ( a ) glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA) and ( b ) taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) hydrolase activities. BSH activity was detected by the observation of an iridescent halo demonstrating the precipitation of deoxycholic acid. The presence or absence of the activity and growth capacity for each strain are summarized in .

Article Snippet: The six Lactobacillus strains were tested for taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) and glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA) hydrolase activities on MRS agar plates supplemented with either 0.5% TDCA (Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) or 0.5% GDCA (Merck Millipore, Burlington, CO, USA), following the protocol described by Moser and Savage [ ].
