Abstract

A novel Aspergillus nidulans lac№4 (argB–) strain, a producer of recombinant laccase A from basidiomycete Trametes hirsuta 072, was obtained. This strain was used for the biocatalytic transformation of progesterone (PG). The major biotransformation products are 11α-hydroxy-PG, 11α-acetoxy-PG and 6β, 11α-dihydroxy-PG. Macronet MN-200 sorbent was used to study the adsorption kinetics of PG, and the main biotransformation products from the transformation medium. The solid-phase extraction of steroids without preliminary removal of the mycelium was shown to be efficient.
