Bacterial metabolism of synthetic steroids across ecosystems reveals diverse biotransformation products, reactions, and enzymes

2026-06-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Biotransformation of synthetic steroid drugs by gut and environmental bacteria affects their activity within the host, persistence, and environmental fate of these widely used pharmaceuticals. However, the spectrum of bacterial transformation of synthetic steroids, the enzymes involved, and the role of cooperative microbial metabolism in these processes remain poorly understood. We systematicall...
