Microbial conversion of tall oil sterols to C19 steroids. 1976

A H Conner, and M Nagaoka, and J W Rowe, and D Perlman

Mycobacterium sp. NRRL B-3683 converted tall oil sterols to C(19) steroids as efficiently as it converted soybean sterols.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009161 Mycobacterium A genus of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria. Most species are free-living in soil and water, but the major habitat for some is the diseased tissue of warm-blooded hosts. Mycobacteria
D009821 Oils Unctuous combustible substances that are liquid or easily liquefiable on warming, and are soluble in ether but insoluble in water. Such substances, depending on their origin, are classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable oils. Depending on their behavior on heating, they are volatile or fixed. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D010840 Phytosterols A class of organic compounds known as sterols or STEROIDS derived from plants. Plant Sterols,Phytosteroid,Phytosteroids,Phytosterol,Plant Steroid,Plant Steroids,Plant Sterol,Steroid, Plant,Steroids, Plant,Sterol, Plant,Sterols, Plant
D005285 Fermentation Anaerobic degradation of GLUCOSE or other organic nutrients to gain energy in the form of ATP. End products vary depending on organisms, substrates, and enzymatic pathways. Common fermentation products include ETHANOL and LACTIC ACID. Fermentations
D013025 Glycine max An annual legume. The SEEDS of this plant are edible and used to produce a variety of SOY FOODS. Soy Beans,Soybeans,Bean, Soy,Beans, Soy,Soy Bean,Soybean
D013256 Steroids A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic
