Abstract
The invention relates to a method for efficiently producing hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with testosterone comamonas. The method comprises steps of bacteria culture, seeding tank culture, fermentation tank culture and the like, and can produce hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase efficiently. The hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase has remarkable effects on crops in preventing disease, promoting growth and increasing yield. Furthermore, if being used as a novel fodder enzyme preparation in cultivation in stock farming, the hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase can effectively promote pigs and broiler chickens to grow, improves the laying rate of laying hens, reduces disease of beasts and birds, and has obvious effect in promoting growth. According to the method, viable bacteria in per milliliter of fermentation liquor is improved to be 30 billion from 0.1 billion, the enzyme activity in per gram of dry powder is improved to be 300 thousand from 1 thousand, so that the product cost is greatly lowered, and the method can be used for industrial production.

Steroid degradation in Comamonas testosteroni

TL;DR: Reactions and the genes involved in the cleavage and the following degradation of the A-ring are similar to those for bacterial biphenyl degradation, and 9,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oic acid degradation is suggested to be mainly β-oxidation.

Identification and Characterization of the LysR-Type Transcriptional Regulator HsdR for Steroid-Inducible Expression of the 3α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/Carbonyl Reductase Gene in Comamonas testosteroni

TL;DR: HsdR is a positive transcription factor for the hsdA gene and promotes the induction of 3α-HSD/CR expression in C. testosteroni after testosterone induction.
