Natural products account for 60% of the total market, making them a major source of drug discovery. Some of these are sourced from the cultivation of microorganisms. Microbial transformation is an example of the application of cultivation of microorganisms. It is a method of modifying the chemical structure of compounds such as steroids by microorganisms. The diversity of the possible reactions types in microbial transformation includes the process of oxidation, hydroxylation, esterification, isomerization, reduction, acetylation, hydrogenation and glycosylation. Therefore, the present study aims to screen new microbial strains which can carry out steroid bioconversions, and isolate prospective biologically active biotransformed products. No report on biotransformation of medroxyprogesterone has been published to date although biotransformations of medroxyprogesterone acetate have been studied by several groups. To date, only one study has published information on the microbial transformation of ethynodiol diacetate (ED), which is achieved by Cunninghamella elegans. In this study, the biotransformations of steroids medroxyprogesterone, and ethynodiol diacetate by a series of fungi (ATCC, endophytes and Antarctic) have been investigated. The literature on manipulations of the psychrotolerant fungi, specifically the Antarctic fungi for biotransformations is almost non-existent.
