Biocatalytic transformation of steroids using solvent-enhanced Beauveria bassiana

This dissertation describes efforts to improve the oxidative capacity of n-alkane- induced Beauveria bassiana; a fungus and a versatile whole cell biocatalyst used in the biotransformation of steroids. n-Hexadecane was used as the carbon source during the growth of B. bassiana, presumably to induce...
