Abstract excerpt
Comamonas testosteroni is able to catabolize a variety of steroids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and might be used in the bioremediation of contaminated environments. 3,17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3,17β-HSD) from C. testosteroni is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily and a key enzyme in steroid degradation. The genome of C. testosteroni ATCC11996 was sequenced in our...
