title: [7-Alpha dehydroxylation of bile acids by O2-intolerant anaerobic intestinal microorganisms].
abstract: The 7 alpha-dehydroxylation of cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids by mice intestinal microorganisms was studied. When all techniques, from autopsy of the animals to final incubation, are performed in oxygen-free environment, it has been found that anaerobic O2 non tolerant microorganisms might be considered the main responsible for these transformations.
