| Steroids |
|
| Steroids are commonly found in human body in the form of cholesterol, testesterone, oestrogen, progesterone and cortisterone. Cholesterol acts as precursor for other body steroids - which are hormones. Steroids are normally prepared by activated hydroxylation. Rhizopus stolonifer effectively mediates the process of hydroxylation. |
| |
| Some other microbes are also reported to have mediated its reversion. Thus, Rhizopus Stolonifer can be effectively used to manufacture human hormonal preparation involving oestrogen, progesterone, testesterone. |
