Creation and Characterization of Mycolicibacterium Smegmatis mc2155 with Deletions in Genes Encoding Sterol Oxidation Enzymes

The fast-growing saprotrophic strain Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mc2155 is capable of utilizing plant and animal sterols and can be used for creation of genetically engineered strains producing biologically active steroids. Oxidation of the 3β-hydroxyl group and Δ5(6)→Δ4(5) double bond isomerization...
