Abstract
The purpose of this work was to study some aspects of bile salt toxicity towards bifidobacteria. A strain (Bifidobacterium coryneforme ATCC 25911) was selected for its lack of conjugated bile salt hydrolase activity (CBSH-), and was used with three deconjugating strains (CBSH+), for study of their growth and viability in the presence of two dihydroxylated conjugated bile salts (tauro- and glyco-deoxycholic acids). The presence of the glycoconjugate induced a more significant growth inhibition for the four strains than the tauroconjugate. The viability of the strains was measured at several pH levels. Glycodeoxycholic acid, but not taurodeoxycholic acid, exerted a lethal effect, which increased at low pH. This phenomenon was more pronounced for the CBSH- strain. We explain some of these results using an hypothesis based on the consequence of dissociation of conjugated and deconjugated bile salts, and the value of their pKa.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
