Selected actinobacteria and filamentous fungi of different taxonomy were screened for the ability to carry out regio- and stereospecific hydroxylation of lithocholic acid (LCA) at position 7 beta. The production of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) was for the first time shown for the fungal strains of Bipolaris, Gibberella, Cunninghamella and Curvularia, as well as for isolated actinobacterial strains of Pseudonocardia, Saccharothrix, Amycolatopsis, Lentzea, Saccharopolyspora and Nocardia genera. Along with UDCA, chenodeoxycholic (COCA), deoxycholic (DCA), cholic (CA), 7-ketodeoxycholic and 3-ketodeoxycholic acids were detected amongst the metabolites by some strains.

Abstract
Selected actinobacteria and filamentous fungi of different taxonomy were screened for the ability to carry out regio- and stereospecific hydroxylation of lithocholic acid (LCA) at position 7 beta. The production of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) was for the first time shown for the fungal strains of Bipolaris, Gibberella, Cunninghamella and Curvularia, as well as for isolated actinobacterial strains of Pseudonocardia, Saccharothrix, Amycolatopsis, Lentzea, Saccharopolyspora and Nocardia genera. Along with UDCA, chenodeoxycholic (COCA), deoxycholic (DCA), cholic (CA), 7-ketodeoxycholic and 3-ketodeoxycholic acids were detected amongst the metabolites by some strains.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
