Delineation of Steroid-Degrading Microorganisms through Comparative Genomic Analysis
9 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Steroids are ubiquitous in natural environments and are a significant growth substrate for microorganisms. Microbial steroid metabolism is also important for some pathogens and for biotechnical applications. This study delineated the distribution of aerobic steroid catabolism pathways among over 8,000 microorganisms whose genomes are available in the NCBI RefSeq database. Combined analysis of...
