## Abstract Microbiological reaction of 19‐nortestosterone with __Penicillium__ sp.ATCC 11598 leading to about equal amounts of the 15α‐hydroxy‐derivative and 15α‐hydroxy‐19‐nor‐androst‐4‐one‐3,17‐dione is described. Fermentation of 19‐nortestosterone with __Fusarium orthoceras__ afforded mainly 15
The regio and stereoselectivity of the hydroxylations are described and the geometric requirements of the enzyme site are discussed. Biohydroxylations are one aspect of the very interesting applications of enzymes to synthetic chemistry, as they allow regio, stereo and even enantioselective fonctio
Hydroxylation of steroid substances by micro-organisms has proved an efficient preparative method in a number of casesl. An understanding of the factors which determlne the specific position of hydroxylation should extend the scope of this method.' With
