Biotransformation of Dehydroepiandrosterone by Aspergillus Species and A Comparison of the Results with Previous Studies
Steroids are widespread in nature, being found in animals, plants, fungi, and certain bacteria. Microbial transformation found wide applications in biotransformation of steroids in order to obtain stereoselective products. This work will explain how to incubate DHEA alongside Aspergillus glaucus MRC 200914 in order to understand the way of this fungus metabolizes the substrate. The main outcome of incubating DHEA with Aspergillus glaucus in this study was the production of several hydroxylated metabolites.
