Biotransformation of 16 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone by Eubacterium sp. 144: non-enzymatic addition of L-cysteine to delta 16-progesterone.
Eubacterium sp. 144 dehydroxylated 16 alpha-hydroxy-progesterone; however, the expected intermediate, delta 16-progesterone, did not accumulate to significant concentrations in the culture medium. Moreover, the final end product of this biotransformation, 17 alpha-progesterone, was produced at a ver...
