[Conversion of androstenedione and androstadienedione by sterol-degrading bacteria].

Abstract excerpt

The composition of steroid metabolites formed during the conversion of androstenedione and androstadienedione, products of degradation of sterol side chains by soil and mutant strains of the bacterial genera Mycobacterium and Protaminobacter, was studied. Testololactone was absent from the conversion products. This favors the idea of different cleavage pathways of steroid ring D in bacteria and fungi. Very small...
