Cholesterol degradation by Gordonia cholesterolivorans.
This paper reports physiological and genetic data about the type strain Gordonia cholesterolivorans, a strain that is able to degrade steroid compounds containing a long carbon side chain such as cholesterol (C(27)), cholestenone (C(27)), ergosterol (C(28)), and stigmasterol (C(29)). The length of the carbon side chain appears to be of great importance for this bacterium, as the strain is unabl...
متن کاملMICROBIAL CHAIN DEGRADATION OF CHOLESTEROL BY ARTHROB ACTER SIMPLEX
Because of the importance of microbial metabolites of cholesterol as precursors in the synthesis of steroidal drugs, we decided to study the ability of Arthrobacter simplex to degrade cholesterol. Arthrobacter simplex cleaves the side chain of cholesterol in the presence of 2,2'-dipyridyl and produces 4-androstene-3,17- dione (AD) and androsta- 1,4-diene-3,17-dione(ADD). Two other intermedi...
متن کاملDegradation and Biosorption of Envirinmental Endocrine Discruptor Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) by Gordonia sp. YK1
In this study, the isolation of DEHP-degrading microorganism was successfully achieved by establishing highly enriched aerobic cultures capable of degrading DEHP. DEHP in the culture with the isolated microorganism was rapidly degraded with the growth of cells and disappeared in 48 hr (more than 90% degradation). Based on 16S rDNA analysis, the isolated DEHP-degrading microorganism belongs to t...

متن کاملDegradation of 3-methylpyridine and 3-ethylpyridine by Gordonia nitida LE31.
Cells of Gordonia nitida LE31 grown on 3-methylpyridine degraded 3-ethylpyridine without a lag time and vice versa. Cyclic intermediates were not detected, but formic acid was identified as a metabolite. Degradation of levulinic acid was induced in cells grown on 3-methylpyridine and 3-ethylpyridine. Levulinic aldehyde dehydrogenase and formamidase activities were higher in cells grown on 3-met...
