description Lactobacillus gasseri is one of the most likely probiotic candidates among many Lactobacillus species. Although bile salt resistance has been defined as an important criterion for selection of probiotic candidates since it allows probiotic bacteria to survive in the gut, both its capability and its related enzyme, bile salt hydrolase (BSH), in L. gasseri is still largely unknown. Here, we report that the well-known probiotic bacterium L. gasseri JCM1131(T) possesses BSH activity and bile salt resistance capability. Indeed, this strain apparently showed BSH activity on the plate assay and highly tolerated the primary bile salts and even taurine-conjugated secondary bile salt. We further isolated a putative BSH enzyme (LagBSH) from strain JCM1131(T) and characterized the enzymatic function. The purified LagBSH protein exhibited quite high deconjugation activity for taurocholic acid and taurochenodeoxycholic acid. The lagBSH gene was constitutively expressed in strain JCM1131(T), suggesting that LagBSH likely contributes to bile salt resistance of the strain and may be associated with survival capability of strain JCM1131(T) within the human intestine by bile detoxification. Thus, this study first demonstrated the bile salt resistance and its responsible enzyme (BSH) activity in strain JCM1131(T), which further supports the importance of the typical lactic acid bacterium as probiotics.
