Abstract 1(2)-Dehydrogenation of 4-cholestene-3-one by immobilized Mycobacterium fortuitum NRRL B-8153 and free growing Mycobacterium sp. NRRL B-3805 and Micromonospora chlacea MTCC 329 depended on the nature of the C-17 side chain. The 1(2)-dehydrogenation did not appear to occur before C-17-side-chain cleavage of the 4-cholestene-3-one.
