Eubacterium sp. 144 biotransformed 16-dehydroprogesterone by initially hydrating approx 50% to 16 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone. The detection of this reaction was dependent, in part, on the solubility state of 16-dehydroprogesterone and was less extensive when the concentration of methanol was insufficient to
