FIELD: biotechnology, biochemistry, genetic engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention proposes a method for construction of genetically modified strains of microorganisms able to destroy steroids. These strains comprise multiple inactivated genes, for example, genes encoding enzymes steroid dehydrogenases implicated in destroying the steroid ring. The gene kstD1 is an example of such genes. Strains comprising the multiple amount of inactivated genes encoding enzymes destroying steroids provides the enhanced effectiveness with respect to accumulation of intermediate steroid compounds. The preferable product of steroid accumulation if 9alpha-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione. ^ EFFECT: improved method for construction of strain. ^ 8 cl, 5 dwg, 7 ex |
