Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the biosynthesis of extracellular cholesterol oxidase by self-selected Brevibacterium sp. A method for enzymatically catalyzing the oxidation of cholesterol to produce a single oxidation product, cholest-4-en-3-one. The toxicity and blood lipid lowering of cholest-4-en-3-one were studied, indicating its application in food and medicine. The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial enzyme engineering. Background technique
[0002] Cholesterol is an indispensable organic component in the human body, and the concentration of cholesterol in the blood is an important physiological indicator that can reflect the health status of the human body. Excessive cholesterol content in food will also have a negative impact on people's health. It is precisely because of the discovery of cholesterol oxidase in microbial cells that there are a series of fast, simple and automatic enzymatic methods for determining the conc...
