Abstract excerpt
3,17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3,17β-HSDs) are found in all forms of life which catalyze the 3-position and 17-position reduction/oxidation of steroids. Comamonas testosteroni (C. testosteroni) ATCC11996 is a gram-negative bacterium which can use steroids as carbon and energy source. 3,17β-HSD is an enzyme which is involved in the complete oxidative degradation of the steroid skeleton, induced in the...
