Abstract

Abstract In this paper we focus on the course of 7-hydroxylation of DHEA, androstenediol, epiandrosterone, and 5α-androstan-3, 17-dione by Absidia coerulea AM93. Apart from that, we present a tentative analysis of the hydroxylation of steroids in A. coerulea AM93. DHEA and androstenediol were transformed to the mixture of allyl 7-hydroxy derivatives, while EpiA and 5α-androstan-3, 17-dione were converted mainly to 7α-and 7β-alcohols ...
