Lactobacilli and azoreductase activity in the murine cecum.

M A McConnell and G W Tannock

Department of Microbiology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.

ABSTRACT

Azoreductase activity in the ceca of mice lacking lactobacilli as members of the normal microflora (reconstituted-lactobacillus-free [RLF] mice) was compared with that of RLF mice whose gastrointestinal tracts were colonized by strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus fermentum. Azoreductase activity was 31% lower in the ceca of mice colonized by lactobacilli.
