Abstract

There are many kinds of microorganisms in environment. Some of them can degrade steroid structures. Such as Rhodococcus erythropolis can degrade testosterone to 4-androstene-3,17-dione and 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione. This kind of degradation may change steroids profile during routine screening procedure. The phosphate buffer (pH=6.9) is suitable for the microorganisms’ living. Some experiments were in conformation of this result. The microorganisms breed in the new prepared phosphate buffer are enough to degrade a large number of steroids, even if it was prepared by MILLIPORE purified water and stored at 4°C for 3 months. The aim of this study is to investigate how the microorganisms in this phosphate buffer degraded the endogenous steroids. Einleitung
