  • Title: Degradation of steroids by microorganisms. XVIII. The reversibility of steroid-1-dehydrogenation during microbial side chain degradation of sterols by Nocardia.
    Author: Komel R, Groh H, Hörhold C.
    Journal: Z Allg Mikrobiol; 1980; 20(10):637-40. PubMed ID: 6784354.
    Abstract:
    The aerobic side chain degradation of sterols often leads to mixtures of 1,4-diene and 4-ene compounds. By an additional anaerobic step a practically complete reverse reaction of the steroid-1-dehydrogenation occurs yielding only the corresponding 4-ene compound.
