Unravelling and engineering an operon involved in the side-chain degradation of sterols in Mycolicibacterium neoaurum for the production of steroid synthons

Abstract Background Harnessing engineered Mycolicibacteria to convert cheap phytosterols into valuable steroid synthons is a basic way in the industry for the production of steroid hormones. Thus, C-19 and C-22 steroids are the two main types of commercial synthons and the products of C17 side chain...
