摘要：
When a thermophilic bacillus was incubated with progesterone for approx. 18 h at 65-degrees-C, four progesterone-based metabolites were produced in moderate quantities. Two products were found to be hydroxy derivatives, i.e. 6-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and 6-beta-hydroxyprogesterone and two were C-20 reduced epimers of progesterone, i.e. 20-alpha- and 20-beta-dihydroprogesterone. 6-Alpha-hydroxyprogesterone is a rare microbial transformation product. Inhibition of hydroxylation by azole-based fungicides and the presence of a carbon-monoxide-reduced difference-spectrum absorbance maximum at 448 nm in the soluble cell fraction suggest that the hydroxylase(s) might be cytochrome(s) P450. The dihydroprogesterones were probably produced by oxidoreductases.
