Exogenous 17β-hydroxy-17α-methyl-androsta-1,4-dien-3-one and androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione are biotransformed by the green alga T76 Scenedesmus quadricauda. The bioproducts have been isolated by chromatographic processes and identified on the basis of their spectroscopic features. Hydration of the Δ4 double bond may justify the presence of the epimeric 5-hydroxyderivatives while rather complex skeleton rearrangements are involved in the formation of the remaining products.

Abstract
Exogenous 17β-hydroxy-17α-methyl-androsta-1,4-dien-3-one and androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione are biotransformed by the green alga T76 Scenedesmus quadricauda. The bioproducts have been isolated by chromatographic processes and identified on the basis of their spectroscopic features. Hydration of the Δ4 double bond may justify the presence of the epimeric 5-hydroxyderivatives while rather complex skeleton rearrangements are involved in the formation of the remaining products.File in questo prodotto:
