N-alkane Solvent-enhanced Biotransformation of Steroid DHEA by Beauveria bassiana as Biocatalyst
Richard Gonzalez, Felipe Nicolau & Tonya L. Peeples · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2014
Aims: The hydroxylation capacity of Beauveria bassiana was enhanced with n-alkane solvents, resulting in a selective and eco-friendly scheme for the synthesis of steroids. A biocatalytic system was engineered to augment the 11α-hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to va...
