Major bacterial strains and plasmids used in this study and their sources are listed in Table S1. Briefly, the E. coli recombinant strain JL885 containing pBSH expression vector (Table S1), constructed in our previous study19 (link), was used for purification of wild-type lsBSH in this study. The pBSH plasmid bearing original bsh gene from L. salivarius NRRL B-30514 was used as parent vector for site-directed mutagenesis. All compounds were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), which include ampicillin, glycocholic acid (GCA), glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA), glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), taurocholic acid (TCA), taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA), taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA).

For acid tolerance, CNCM I-4884 suspension was adjusted to 1.0 (OD 600 nm) with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 2.0 using 1 N HCl. After 30, 60, 90 and 120 min of incubation at 37 °C, suspensions were serially diluted in PBS and plated onto MRS agar. Viable cells were counted after 48 h incubation at 37 °C. For bile salts tolerance, MRS broth was supplemented with a mix of taurocholic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid, glycocholic acid and glycochenodeoxycholic acid (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA) at 0.05 mg/mL, 0.1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, 1 mg/mL and 2 mg/mL each. Bacterial growth was monitored at 37 °C every 30 min for 24 h by OD at 600 nm using Infinite M200 Pro spectrophotometer (TECAN, Lyon, France).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
