Eubacterium sp. strain VPI 12708 has several bile acid-inducible (bai) genes which encode enzymes in the bile acid 7 alpha-dehydroxylation (7 alpha DeOH) pathway. Twelve 7 alpha DeOH-positive intestinal bacterial strains were assayed for 7 alpha DeOH activity, and 13 strains were tested for hybridization with bai genes. Cholic acid 7 alpha DeOH activity varied greatly (> 100-fold) among these strains. Southern blot experiments showed that DNA prepared from 7 of 13 strains hybridized with at least one of the bai genes from Eubacterium sp. strain VPI 12708.
真杆菌属菌株VPI 12708有几个胆汁酸诱导型(bai)基因,这些基因编码胆汁酸7α-脱羟基化(7α DeOH)途径中的酶。对12株7α DeOH阳性肠道细菌菌株进行了7α DeOH活性检测,并对13株菌株进行了与bai基因杂交的测试。这些菌株中胆酸7α DeOH活性差异很大(>100倍)。Southern杂交实验表明,从13株菌株中的7株制备的DNA与真杆菌属菌株VPI 12708的至少一个bai基因杂交。
