hydroxylation of steroidal ring D lactones by Cephalosporium aphidicola

The microbiological hydroxylation of 17alpha-oxa-D-homo-5alpha-androstane-3, 17-dione, the 3beta-alcohol and the 13alpha-methyl analogue by Cephalosporium aphidicola takes place predominantly at C-7alpha in contrast to other hydroxylations by this organism.
