Abstract
The steroid 16α‐hydroxylase of Streptomyces olivoviridis was shown to be constitutive, but synthetized only in small amounts in the absence of cortisol. The induction of the enzyme with the steroidal substrate resulted in a distinct increase in the 16α‐hydroxylation rate. This increase in activity, however, could be demonstrated only in later phases of culturing, after the growth of the mycelium was completed. The possible mechanisms controlling the activity of the enzyme during the growth phase of the culture are discussed.

## Abstract __Streptomyces roseochromogenes__ (NRRL B‐1233) converted estrone predominantly into its 16α‐hydroxyl derivative. Chemical and spectroscopic (UV, IR, NMR, MS) methods were used in establishing the structure and stereochemistry of the oxidation product. The product was assigned as 16α‐hy
