What is Steroid Sulfatase Activity in A Peptococcus Niger Strain From The Human Intestinal Microflora about?
A Peptococcus niger strain isolated from human fecal material exhibits significant sulfatase activity towards various steroid sulfate esters, including complete desulfation of estrone-3-sulfate and partial desulfation of estradiol-3-sulfate. The strain also demonstrates alkylsulfatase activity and C-17 and C-3 oxidoreductase activities towards steroids. This research highlights the role of gut microorganisms in modifying steroid availability through deconjugation processes.
