ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Transformation of sitosterol to androsta-1, 4-diene-3, 17-dione was studied with Mycobacterium cells entrapped in various polymeric matrices. Of the three supports viz. alginate, carageenan, agarose and polyacrylamide, studied, the polyacrylamide immobilized cells showed optimum catalytic stability and reusability.
