Loss of <i>Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron</i> bile acid altering enzymes impact bacterial fitness and the global metabolic transcriptome
2023-06-27
Abstract excerpt
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron ( B. theta ) is a Gram-negative gut bacterium that encodes enzymes that alter the bile acid pool in the gut. Primary bile acids are synthesized by the host liver and are modified by gut bacteria. B. theta encodes two bile salt hydrolases (BSHs), as well as a hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSDH). We hypothesize that B. theta modifies the bile acid pool in the gut to provide a fitness...
