| characterization of the steroid degrading bacterium s19-1 from the baltic sea at kiel, germany. | steroid contamination of sea water is an ever growing problem and impacts population dynamics of all kinds of sea animals. we have long experience with the soil bacterium comamonas testosteroni atcc11996 which is able to catabolize a variety of steroids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and which might be used in the bioremediation of contaminated places. in c. testosteroni about 20 enzymes which are involved in steroid degradation could be induced by 0.5mm testosterone. in this work, we iso ... | 2010 | 21185812 |
