Cholesterol degradation by Gordonia cholesterolivorans.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jul 2011

Abstract excerpt

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 unable to grow using...
