The bacterium formerly known as Arthrobacter globiformis 193 has high 1(2)-dehydrogenase activity toward pharmaceutically important steroids, 9(11)-dehydrocortexolone in particular. The complex analysis of the morphostructural, physiological, biochemical, and phylogenetic properties of this bacterium allowed us to reclassify it into Nocardioides simplex (N. simplex VKM Ac-2033D).

Microbial 1(2)-dehydrogenation of 3-ketosteroids is an important basis for the production of many steroid pharmaceuticals and synthons. When using the wild-type strains for whole cell catalysis, the undesirable reduction of the 20-carbonyl group, or 1(2)-hydrogenation, was observed. In this work, the recombinant strains of and were constructed with blocked endogenous activity of 3-ketosteroid-9α-hydroxylase, 3-ketosteroid-1(2)-dehydrogenase (3-KSD), and expressing 3-KSD encoded by the gene () from VKM Ac-2033D.

Cholesterol determination by cholesterol oxidase reaction is a fast, convenient, and highly specific approach with widespread use in clinical diagnostics. Routinely, endpoint measurements with 4-aminophenazone or 4-aminoantipyrine as chromogens and sodium cholate, surfactants, or alcohols as solubilizing agents are used. Here we describe a novel kinetic method to determine cholesterol in 0.

α-1,3-Glucanase Agl-KA from Bacillus circulans KA-304 consists of a discoidin domain (DS1), a carbohydrate binding module family 6 (CBM6), a threonine-proline-rich-linker (TP linker), a discoidin domain (DS2), an uncharacterized domain, and a catalytic domain. The binding of DS1, CBM6, and DS2 to α-1,3-glucan can be improved in the presence of two of these three domains. In this study, DS1, CBM6, and TP linker were genetically fused to histamine dehydrogenase (HmDH) from Nocardioides simplex NBRC 12069.

is extensively used for cortisone acetate (CA) biotransformation in industry, but the Δ-dehydrogenation molecular fundamental remains unclear. Herein, the comparative proteome revealed several proteins with the potential role in this reaction, which were mainly involved in lipid or amino acid transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion, steroid degradation, and transporter. The influences of six proteins were further confirmed, where , , , , and showed positive impacts, while exhibited a negative effect.

Dehydrogenation reaction at C1(2) positions is typical and representative of industrial production of steroid drugs. Anti-inflammatory activity can be doubled when the nucleus of the anti-inflammatory steroid hormone drug introduces double bonds at the C1(2) positions. Arthrobacter simplex is currently the most widely studied and used strain for C1(2) dehydrogenation.
