  • A mutant of Mycobacterium sp. has been isolated which is capable of degrading cholesterol and plant sterol to androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione and 9-hydroxyandrostene-3, 17-dione. Also this mutant hydroxylated the steroidal nucleus at the 9 $\alpha$ position. No ring degradation inhibitory agents are required for these processes.
