The purpose of the bile esculen azide agar is to inhibit the growth of gram-positive organisms.
Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacteria commonly found in dairy products and does not typically grow in high levels in bile esculin. This medium is mainly used to differentiate enterococci, Streptococcus bovis, and Group D Streptococcus based on their ability to hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile.
Mycobacterium smegmatis typically does not grow on bile esculin agar, as this medium is designed primarily for the isolation of Enterococcus and some other bile-tolerant organisms. Mycobacteria, including M. smegmatis, generally require specialized media for optimal growth due to their unique cell wall structure and nutrient needs. Therefore, while M. smegmatis might survive in some cases, it is unlikely to exhibit significant growth on this agar.
The main bile salts in bile are cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, which are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. These bile salts help emulsify fats in the digestive system, aiding in their breakdown and absorption.
Bile is secretory as well as excretory product of liver. It secretes bile salts and excretes bile pigments. Bile salts (Sodium glaucocolate and Sodium taurocholate.) are responsible for emulsification of fats (makes very small droplets of fat.) witch greatly increase the surface area of fat and hasten action of pancreatic lipase on it.
To reclaim bile salts to be recycled back to the liver for resecretion.

Bile breaks down fats (lipids) in the digestive system. It helps emulsify fats into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes to break them down into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption in the intestines.
The primary emulsifiers in bile are bile salts, which are derived from cholesterol. These bile salts, such as sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate, help to break down fats into smaller droplets, increasing their surface area for digestion by lipases. Additionally, phospholipids, particularly lecithin, also contribute to the emulsifying properties of bile. Together, these components facilitate the digestion and absorption of dietary fats in the small intestine.
Yes, Bile juice contains many salts like Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Glycocholate, Sodium Taurocholate, etc. that help in the digestion of fats in the small intestine by bringing about their Emulsification i.e. conversion of large fat droplets into smaller ones.

Fats are made up of lipid molecules. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks up the lipid molecules.

Ox bile, also known as purified oxgall or sodium choleate, is available in finer drug stores and is FDA approved.
Liver produces bile. Bile contains bile salts and bile pigments. You have sodium taurocholate and sodium glychocolate as bile salts. These salts reduce the surface tension of the fat globules. Very small particles of the fat are formed. This greatly increase the surface area of the fat. this gives an opportunity to the enzyme to act on the fat granules. Fat is split into fatty acid and glycerol. These products are absorbed through the wall of the intestine.
Sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate are sodium salt and are the chief ingredient of the bile of mammals. Glycocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with glycine. Taurocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with taurine. These bile salts help to emulsify the fatty substances for absorption.
A bile lock is used in medical procedures to prevent bile from leaking into the body cavity during surgery or other procedures involving the bile ducts. It helps maintain the integrity of the bile ducts and prevents complications.
