Abstract
An NTG induced mutant of a bile acid utilizing strain of Pseudomonas putida was isolated which was blocked in the steroid catabolic pathway. This mutant (PS5-7) was able to accumulate both phenolic and catecholic secosteroid products from cholic acid. Using a transposing system containing the kanamycin resistance transposon Tn5, mutants of PS5-7 were isolated which produced only the phenolic secosteroid. One of these mutants (PS5-25) was able to produce close to theoretical yields of various phenolic secosteroids from corresponding bile acids.
