Abstract
Abstract The biotransformation of a series of Δ 4-3-ketosteroids by the Penicillium decumbens ATCC 10436 has been investigated. Conversion to the 5α-dihydrosteroid was observed substrates of the androsterone and pregne series: the reaction is tolerant of non- polar substituents (Cl and CH 3) at C-4 of the substrate, but does not occur in the presence of a 4-hydroxyl group, or with additional unsaturation at the Δ 1 orΔ 6 positions.
