7alpha-Dehydroxylation of cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid by Clostridium leptum.
The rate of 7alpha-dehydroxylation of primary bile acids was quantitatively measured radiochromatographically in anaerobically washed whole cell suspensions of Clostridium leptum. The pH optimum for the 7alpha-dehydroxylation of both cholic and chenodeoxycholic acid was 6.5-7.0. Substrate saturation...
