Abstract: | Summary Testosterone production byMyc. sp. NRRL B-3683 is discussed. The unexpected finding that testosterone is not formed by single reduction of 17-keto group of 4-androstene-3,17-dione (AD) but by a double reduction of both 17-keto group and 1–2 doble bound of 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (ADD) is presented. |
