Aerobic bacteria employ oxygenases for the initial cleavage of the aromatic ring A. In contrast, anaerobic degradation of estrogens is initiated by methyl transfer-dependent conversion into androgens involving a putative cobalamin-dependent methyltransferase system. The methyl donor for this unprecedented reaction and its stoichiometric regeneration have remained unknown. With the biomass obtained from large-scale fermentation of an estrogen-degrading denitrifying bacterium, we identified S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) as the methyl donor for the cobalamin-mediated methyl transfer to estrogens. To continuously supply C1 units to initiate estrogen degradation, genes for SAM regeneration from estradiol-derived catabolites are highly upregulated. Data presented here shed light into biochemical processes involved in the globally important microbial degradation of estrogens.Cryptosporidium spp., protozoan parasites, are a leading cause of global diarrhea-associated morbidity and mortality in young children and immunocompromised individuals. The limited efficacy of the only available drug and lack of vaccines make it challenging to treat and prevent cryptosporidiosis. Therefore, the identification of essential genes and understanding their biological functions are critical for the development of new therapies. Currently, there is no genetic tool available to investigate the function of essential genes in Cryptosporidium spp. Here, we describe the development of the first conditional system in Cryptosporidium parvum Our system utilizes the Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase degradation domain (DDD) and the stabilizing compound trimethoprim (TMP) for conditional regulation of protein levels in the parasite. We tested our system on the calcium-dependent protein kinase-1 (CDPK1), a leading drug target in C. parvum By direct knockout s
