  • Bile salts modified morphology, rate of growth and Zeta Potential of L. casei Shirota.

  • L. casei Shirota showed bile salt hydrolase activity when growing on primary and secondary taurine salts media.

  • Morphological changes observed primarily as modifications in the cell aspect ratio.

  • Rate of growth and Zeta Potential were related to bile salt hydrolase activity.

  • First time Zeta Potential of L. casei Shirota has been associated to bile salt hydrolase activity.
