Popis: Microbial biotransformations of various steroids are reviewed. Developmental studies on hydroxylation, carboncarbon bond cleavage, enzymatic catalysis in nonaqueous solvents, use of cyclodextrin medium, cell immobilization, and new microbial reactions are highlighted. Various steroid substrates, their metabolites and the microorganisms used for the transformations are compiled covering the literature for the period 1992–1995.
