## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** A large number of bacterial, fungal and microalgal species are able to bioβtransform steroid compounds. Among them, fungi from the __Mucor__ genus have been shown to mediate hydroxylation, oxidation, and desaturation by the double bond formation and epoxidation of variou
## Abstract A biotransformation process using __Mycobacterium__ sp was studied for androstaβ1, 4βdieneβ3,17βdione (ADD) and androstaβ4βeneβ3,17βdione (AD) production from cholesterol. Cholesterol has a poor solubility in water (βΌ1.8βmgβdm^β3^ at 25βΒ°C), which makes it difficult to use as the substr
The 13C NMR spectra 1 7 derivatives of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione were recorded and assigned. Assignments were based on spectral comparison with compounds of similar structure and distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) NMR measurements.
