Comparative Genomic and Physiological Analysis against <i>Clostridium scindens</i> Reveals <i>Eubacterium</i> sp. c-25 as an Atypical Deoxycholic Acid Producer of the Human Gut Microbiota
The human gut houses bile acid 7α-dehydroxylating bacteria that produce secondary bile acids such as deoxycholic acid (DCA) from host-derived bile acids through enzymes encoded by the <i>bai</i> operon. While recent metagenomic studies suggest that these bacteria are highly diverse and a...
