biotransformation of progesterone by whole cells of filamentous fungi aspergillus brasiliensis
نویسندگان
چکیده
microbial steroid biotransformation have found wide-reaching application for the production of more precious and functionalized compounds due to their high regio-and stereoselectivity. in this study, the possibility of using filamentous fungi aspergillus brasiliensis cells in the biotransformation of progesterone (i), a c-21 steroid hormone was studied for the first time.the fungal strain was inoculated into the transformation medium which supplemented with progesterone as a substrate. biotransformation of this steroid for 7 days afforded 3 different hydroxylated metabolites: 11α-hydroxyprogesterone (ii); 14α-hydroxyprogesterone (iii) and 21-hydroxyprogesterone (iv).the metabolites were separated by thin layer chromatography. structure determinations of the metabolites were performed by comparing nmr, ms and ir spectra of starting compound with those of metabolites.these results may be of industrial importance because the metabolites can be used as precursor of some steroid drugs.

In the present study, 110 fungal strains of Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) including some selected strains isolated in various screening projects were tested for their potentiality to produce lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reduc-tase), the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. The fungal strains were cultivated in a t...

The goal of the study was to evaluate the ability of filamentous fungi to biotransform the pentacyclic triterpene lupeol. The microbial transformations were carried out in shake flasks in different media. Experiments were also run with control flasks. Samples of each culture were taken every 24 hours, extracted with ethyl acetate, and analyzed by GC-MS. The biotransformation of lupeol by Asperg...
