Abstract: | Summary
Caldariella Acidophila, a thermophilic bacterium, converts porgesterone (1) to pregn-4-en-3,6,20-trione (2), 5a-pregnan-3, 6, 20-trione (3), pregn-4-en-20a-ol-3-one (4), pregn-4-6 -ol-3, 20-dione (5) and pregn-4-en-6a-ol-3, 20-dione (6). Different patterns of these metabolites were obtained by modifying the incubation conditions and using differently treated biocatalysis. |
