Abstract

In anaerobic conditions the reduction of Δ-4 3-keto steroids by Clostridium paraputrificum leads either to the 3-keto 5β compounds or to the corresponding 3α-hydroxytetrahydro-5β derivatives. This stereospecific bioconversion of αβ-unsaturated 3-keto steroids is shown to be directed by the substrate concentration. The conversion of Δ-4 cholestenone to coprostanone or coprostanol is not observed.
