Abstract

Bile acids were analyzed in the bile, small and large intestines, and feces of germ-free rats after a single inoculation with one of six intestinal bacteria that had been originally isolated from human feces.Bacteroides vulgatus andBifidobacterium longum preferentially deconjugated tauro-β-muricholic acid and taurocholic acid, respectively.Clostridium ramosum, Peptostreptococcus productus andLactobacillus gasseri deconjugated both bile acids, butEscherichia coli did not deconjugate either one. Rats inoculated with bacteria that deconjugated tauro-β-muricholic acid produced Δ22-β-Muricholic acid in the feces. In contrast, Δ22-cholic acid could not be detected in rats inoculated with bacteria that deconjugated taurocholic acid.
