Pediococcus and Lactobacillus genes involved in starch metabohsm most isolates (75%) possess amy gene (alpha-amylase gene) and 54% dexC (neopullulanase gene) (Turpin et al. 2011)... 

CYP27A1 catalyzes the side chain oxidation (27-hydroxylation) in bile acid biosynthesis. Because bile acid synthesis is the only elimination pathway for cholesterol, mutations in the CYP27A1 gene lead to abnormal deposition of cholesterol and cholestanol in various tissues. This sterol storage disorder is known as cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. CYP27B1 is the 1-alpha hydroxylase of vitamin D3 that converts it to the active vitamin form. The function of CYP27C1 is not yet known.
