Summary
In a comparison of the substrate specificity of the action of a culture ofActinomyces albus 3006 and a cell-free preparation obtained from the mycelium ofA. albus 3006, it was found that the spectrum of the action of the steroid oxidoreductase ofA. albus is broader than the spectrum of the action of the culture. Some of the factors responsible for the difference in the specificity of the action of the culture of the microorganism and the enzyme preparation are examined.
