The microbiological hydroxylation of 3 alpha,5-cycloandrostanes by Cephalosporium aphidicola.
The microbiological hydroxylation of some 3 alpha,5-cycloandrostanes by the fungus, Cephalosporium aphidicola has been shown to take place at C-2 alpha and C-14 alpha and a 6 beta-alcohol was oxidized to the 6-ketone.
