Abstract
Hydrocortisone was converted in the culture of an isolated strain of the cyanobacterium Nostoc muscorum PTCC 1636 into some androstane and pregnane derivatives. The microorganism was, isolated during a screening program from soil samples collected from paddy fields of north of Iran. The bioproducts obtained were purified using chromatographic methods and identified as 11beta-hydroxytestosterone, 11beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3,17-dione and 11beta,17alpha,20beta,21-tetrahydroxypregn-4-en-3-one on the basis of their spectroscopic features.Entities:
