Enhancement of the 7 alpha-dehydroxylase activity of a gram-positive intestinal anaerobe by Bacteroides and its significance in the 7-dehydroxylation of ursodeoxycholic acid
The 7 alpha-dehydroxylation of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and cholic acid (CA) by a Eubacterium lentum-like intestinal anaerobe was specifically enhanced by the bacteroides present in mixed cultures and also by the addition to the growth medium of cell extracts from the bacteroides. The 7 alpha-de...
