ABSTRACT
Twenty fungal isolates belonging to four genera and eleven species and eleven bacterial isolates were isolated from different cultivated soils. These isolates were capable of utilizing cholesterol as a sole source of carbon. The bacterial isolates more active in cholesterol decomposition than fungal isolates. The highest cholesterol degradative activity and bacterial biomass was recoreded by Mycobacterium fortuitum being on [g/l] cholesterol 1.5, CaCO3 2.5, and yeast extract 5.0. The favorable incubation period was three days at 30C and pH 7.0
