The anaerobic degradation of cholesterol fundamentally differs from the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase dependent activation of the isoprenoid side chain at C26 in aerobes. In the denitrifying β-proteobacterium Sterolibacterium denitrificans, activation of primary C26 proceeds via a three-step cascade...
