Time profiles of 9-hydroxy steroids accumulation, extracellular H2O2 concentration, and the NAD+/NADH ratio of the strain ΔkstDΔhsd4fadA5 and the strain ΔkstDΔhsd4AΔfadA5-NK. a Extracellular H2O2 concentration; b the cell growth; c intracellular NAD+/NADH ratio; d time course of 9-OH-4-HP accumulation of ΔkstDΔhsd4AΔfadA5-NK from different concentrations of phytosterols; e time course of 9-OH-AD accumulation of ΔkstDΔhsd4AΔfadA5-NK from different concentrations of phytosterols. Expression of Nox and KatE is beneficial for cell growth, increases the ratio of intracellular NAD+/NADH, decreases the extracellular H2O2 concentration, and enhances the yield of 9-OH-4-HP under a high concentration of phytosterol
