Canonical cholesterol catabolism pathway [44] based on studies in Rhodococcus [100], C. testosteroni [46, 101] and fast-growing mycobacteria [102]. It is believed that the cholesterol derivatives 2 and 3 are both substrates for the C26 hydroxylation enzyme. The cholesterol side chain β-oxidation intermediates are potential substrates for KstD and KshA/B. The preferred substrates have not been established.
