Abstract
Subcellular distribution study showed both soluble and membrane-bound forms of mycobacterial 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. The cytochemical method based on a copper ferrocyanide procedure followed by electron microscopic visualization was applied in order to investigate the intracellular localization of bacterial 17β-OH SDH in more detail. The enzyme was found to be located in the peripheral cytoplasmic zone adjoining the cytoplasmic membrane (CM). 17β-OH SDH was loosely membrane bound and easily released into the environment under the cell integrity failure.
