Investigations on the Degradation of the Bile Salt Cholate via the 9,10-<i>Seco</i>-Pathway Reveals the Formation of a Novel Recalcitrant Steroid Compound by a Side Reaction in <i>Sphingobium</i> sp. Strain Chol11

Bile salts such as cholate are steroid compounds from the digestive tracts of vertebrates, which enter the environment upon excretion, e.g., in manure. Environmental bacteria degrade bile salts aerobically via two pathway variants involving intermediates with Δ<sup>1,4</sup>- or Δ<sup...
