Rutin and quercitrin are hydrolysed to quercetin, and robinin is hydrolysed to kaempferol, by faecal flora from healthy subjects. The enzymes required for these hydrolyses, namely .alpha.-rhamnosidase and .beta.-galactosidase, were produced by some strains of Bacteroides distasonis; other strains, however, synthesized .beta.-glucosidase. The last-named enzyme was also elaborated by Bacteroides uniformis and Bacteroides ovatus. All the enzymes were produced constitutively. A cell-free extract of B. distasonis containing .beta.-glucosidase displayed an enzymic activity of 1 .mu.mol/10 min per 10 mg of protein.
