Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacterial steroid degradation is gaining attention for its diverse roles, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis ’s reliance on the degradation of the C17 side chain of cholesterol for survival in host environments. ORF40 to ORF44 of Comamonas testosteroni TA441, previously characterized for its A-, B-, C-, and D-ring cleavage pathways, were hypothesized to correspond to the igr operon of M. tub...
