Efficient conversion of phytosterols into 4-androstene-3,17-dione and its C1,2-dehydrogenized and 9α-hydroxylated derivatives by engineered Mycobacteria

4-Androstene-3,17-dione (4-AD), 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (ADD) and 9α-hydroxyl-4-androstene-3,17-dione (9OH-AD), which are important starting compounds for the synthesis of steroidal medicines, can be biosynthetically transformed from phytosterols by Mycobacterium strains. Genomic and metabolic...
