Tolerance to bile stress is crucial for  Lactobacillus paracasei  to survive in the intestinal tract and exert beneficial actions. In this work, global transcriptomic analysis revealed that 104 genes were significantly changed (log 2 FoldChange > 1.5,  P  < 0.05) in detected transcripts of  L. paracasei  L9 when exposed to 0.13% Ox-bile. The different expressed genes involved in various biological processes, including carbon source utilization, amino acids and peptide metabolism processes, transmembrane transport, transcription factors, and membrane proteins. It is noteworthy that gene  mle S encoding malolactic enzyme (MLE) was 2.60-fold up-regulated. Meanwhile,  L -malic acid was proved to enhance bile tolerance, which could be attributed to the intracellular alkalinization caused by MLE pathway. In addition, membrane vesicles were observed under bile stress, suggesting a disturbance in membrane charge without  L -malic acid. Then, genetic and physiological experiments revealed that MLE pathway enhanced the bile tolerance by maintaining a membrane balance in  L. paracasei  L9, which will provide new insight into the molecular basis of MLE pathway involved in bile stress response in Lactic acid bacteria.
