The technological advancement has introduced numerous achievements in the field of biotechnology. Microbial transformation or biotransformation is the phenomenon where living organisms are used in modifying materials that are not frequently used for growth (Donova and Egorova). Apart from animal cells, plant tissues and enzymes, microbial transformation is associated with the reactions under biotransformation. A substance can be transformed into another product through microbial action on the substrate. Studies reported that the utilization of biotechnology in the formulation of steroids was introduced in the year 1952. Murray and Peterson developed 1 lα-hydroxylation using Rhizopus and utilized it effectively Continue reading...
