Kinetics characterization of taurocholic transport in Lactobacillus reuteri.
Taurocholic acid transport in Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1098 was determined. The bile acid is incorporated inside the cells by an active and saturable transport showing a typical kinetics of Michaelis-Menten with values of Km and Vmax of 0.35 mm and 20 mm, respectively.
