Recent' reports on the degradation of bile acid side-chains have prompted us to record our own with the lanosterol side-chain. Mild degradation of 38-acetoxylanost-8,24-diene (I)
## Abstract The role of the lipid bilayer and the peptidoglycan of the mycobacterial cell wall in the permeation of β‐sitosterol into the cell and its transformation to androst‐1‐ene‐3,17‐dione (AD) and androsta‐1,4‐diene‐3,17‐dione (ADD) was studied. Specific inhibitors were used at concentrations
## 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.
## Abstract The transformation properties of different aspergilli were tested. Our strains possess the capacity of degrading of progesterone side chain. Δ^4^‐androstene‐3,17‐dione, testosterone, and testololactone were detected in all cases but produced in different yields. Two strains, namely, __A
