Thirty-eight strains of Chlorella spp. were used as bioreactors on progesterone. Fourteen strains were ineffective whilst the others biotransformed the substrate. The observed bioreactions for progesterone were the hydroxylation, the reduction and the side-chain degradation. The kinds of biotransformation seem to fit the actual classification of the strains.

Abstract

Thirty-eight strains of Chlorella spp. were used as bioreactors on progesterone. Fourteen strains were ineffective whilst the others biotransformed the substrate. The observed bioreactions for progesterone were the hydroxylation, the reduction and the side-chain degradation. The kinds of biotransformation seem to fit the actual classification of the strains.
