The application of thermophilic microorganisms opens new prospects in steroid biotechnology, but little is known to date on steroid catabolism by thermophilic strains. The thermophilic strain Saccharopolyspora hirsuta VKM Ac-666T has been shown to convert various steroids and to fully degrade cholesterol. Cholest-4-en-3-one, cholesta-1,4-dien-3-one, 26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one, 3-oxo-cholest-4-en-26-oic acid, 3-oxo-cholesta-1,4-dien-26-oic acid, 26-hydroxycholesterol, 3β-hydroxy-cholest-5-en-26-oic acid were identified as intermediates in cholesterol oxidation. The structures were confirmed by 1H and 13C-NMR analyses. Aliphatic side chain hydroxylation at C26 and the A-ring modification at C3, which are putatively catalyzed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP125 and cholesterol oxidase, respectively, occur simultaneously in the strain and are followed by cascade reactions of aliphatic sidechain degradation and steroid core destruction via the known 9(10)-seco-pathway. The genes putatively related to the sterol and bile acid degradation pathways form three major clusters in the S. hirsuta genome. The sets of the genes include the orthologs of those involved in steroid catabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 and related actinobacteria. Bioinformatics analysis of 52 publicly available genomes of thermophilic bacteria revealed only seven candidate strains that possess the key genes related to the 9(10)-seco pathway of steroid degradation, thus demonstrating that the ability to degrade steroids is not widespread among thermophilic bacteria.

Abstract Application of thermophile microorganisms opens new prospects in steroid biotechnology, however little is known on steroid catabolism by the thermophile strains.The thermophilic Saccharopolyspora hirsuta subsp. hirsuta strain VKM Ac-666T is capable of structural modification of different steroids, and fully degrades cholesterol. The intermediates of the cholesterol degradation pathway were identified as cholest-4-en-3-one, cholesta-1,4-dien-3-one, 26-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one, 3-oxo-cholest-4-en-26-oic acid, 3-oxo-cholesta-1,4-dien-26-oic acid, 26-hydroxycholesterol, 3β-hydroxy-cholest-5-en-26-oic acid by MS, and H1- and C13-NMR analyses. The data evidence sterol degradation by the strain occurs simultaneously through the aliphatic side chain hydroxylation at C26 and the A-ring modification that are putatively catalyzed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP125 and cholesterol oxidase, respectively.The genes orthologous to those related to the sterol side chain degradation, steroid core rings A/B and C/D disruption and the steroid uptake were revealed. Most of the genes related to steroid degradation are grouped in three clusters. The sets of the genes putatively involved in steroid catabolism and peculiarities of their organization in S. hirsuta are discussed.Despite steroids abundancy in the environments, the ability to degrade them is not widespread among thermophilic bacteria as follows from the bioinformatic analysis of 52 publicly available genomes. Only seven candidate strains were revealed to possess the key genes related to the only known 9(10)-seco pathway of steroid degradation.The results contribute to the knowledge on diversity of microbial steroid degraders, the features of sterol catabolism by thermophilic actinobacteria and could be useful for application in the pharmaceutical and environmental biotechnology.

The draft genome sequence of the type strain Saccharopolyspora hirsuta subsp. hirsuta VKM Ac-666 was sequenced. This moderately thermophilic actinobacterial strain of sugarcane bagasse origin is able to transform different steroid substrates.
