| Abstract: | beta-Glucosidase and beta-glucuronidase of human and rat fecal bacteria were induced by cultivation in alkaline media although their growths were not affected. When a bacterium isolated from human feces producing each enzyme was cultured in a medium at pH 5 for 12-15 h and then adjusted to pH 8, beta-glucosidase and beta-glucuronidase were induced 9.2-fold and 11.5-fold, respectively. |
