Microbes present in the large intestine reduce bilirubin (BIL) to D-urobilinogen (D-UBGN) (Troxler et al. 1968, Watson et al. 1958, Vitek et al. 2006). The identity of the bilirubin reductase (BILR) is unknown (Koníčková et al. 2012). Some D-UBGN can be reabsorbed into the portal circulation and delivered to the liver where it is recycled back into the biliary flow.
