Abstract
Postselective (directed) mutagenesis was used to create mutants of M. vaccae B3805 showing changed abilities for steroid biotransformations. Three morphological classes of such mutants, differing in colony colo ur: yellow, white and pink, were selected. Some of them can be helpful in genetic studies of steroid biotransformation. Two mutants were als o shown to be hosts for foreign DNA.
