Book ChapterDOI
Microbial cleavage of sterol side chains.
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the microbial cleavage of sterol side chains, and the microbial removal of the aliphatic side chain of phytosterols offers a promising method for use of these sterols.

Oxic and Anoxic Metabolism of Steroids by Bacteria
Wael Ismail,Yin-Ru Chiang +1 more
TL;DR: The current understanding of the biochemistry and molecular biology of bacterial steroid metabolism under anoxic conditions is discussed and novel aspects of the regulation and evolution of catabolic pathways as well as unprecedented biocatalysts with useful applications in biotechnology are discussed.

Immobilization of P. pictorum in open pore agar, alginate and polylysine-alginate microcapsules for serum cholesterol depletion.
F. A. Garofalo,T. M. S. Chang +1 more
TL;DR: P. pictorum was immobilized in alginate beads, polylysine microcapsules and open pore agar beads, and no leakage was detected, suggesting a barrier free mass transfer of lipoproteins.

Method for producing cholesterol oxidase in the presence of a nonionic surfactant
TL;DR: An improved fermentation method comprises growing a cholesterol oxidase-producing microorganism in a medium comprising a carbon source, such as glycerol, yeast extract, a nonionic surfactant, an auxiliary carbon source which is also an inducer of cholesterol oxidation, and trace salts.
Dissertation
Strategies for the Mitigation of Oxysterol-Induced Cytotoxicity
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided to support the approach to identify enzymes capable of transforming oxysterols to either reduce their toxicity or facilitate their metabolism or excretion, and may have implications for the treatment of oxysterolassociated diseases.

Microbial Transformation of Sterols
TL;DR: Selective cleavage of the side chains of various sterols at C-17, giving rise to androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD), occurred in the presence of α,α′-dipyridyl by microorganisms of the following genera.
