The steroid biotransformation genes in genomes of mycobacteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sequence of the human mitochondrial genome was established almost 25 years ago and has been used in analysis of human population migrations, forensic medicine, longevity studies and in investigation of the causes of mitochondrial diseases.It is a small compact genome of 16.5 kb containing information about 13 protens, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs.There are many variants (haplogroups) of the human mitochondrial genomeand some of them have been associated — for some populations — with longevity orcertain mitochondrial disease. Many of these associations were only detected for certain populations. I will discuss the mitochondrial DNA haplogroups in the Polishpopulation and the association of certain mitohcondrial haplogroups with a mitochondrial blindness, Leber Hereditaty Optic Neuropahy.

The potential of microalgae for steroid transformation has been studied less than other microorganisms. They have been applied for the years in the treatment of environmental pollutions and preparation of nutrients. At the first time, Abul-Hajj and Qian indicated the conversion of androstendione (AD) to testosterone with eleven different strains of microalgae. Previtera’s group showed the trans...

Microbial transformation has been successfully applied in the production of steroid intermediates with therapeutic use and commercial value in pharmaceutical industry due to its high regio- and stereo-selectivity. As such, it is still important to screen microbial strains with novel activity or more efficient abilities in the development of the commercial steroid industry. Biotransformation of ...
