RT journal article T1 Non-terpenoid biotransformations by Mucor species A1 de Oliveira Silva, Eliane A1 Jacometti Cardoso Furtado, Niege Araçari A1 Aleu Casatejada, Josefina A1 González Collado, Isidro A2 Química Orgánica K1 Biotransformation K1 Mucor sp. K1 Nonterpenoid AB Biotransformation is an important tool for the structural modification of organic compounds, especially natural products with complex structures, which are difficult to achieve using ordinary methods. It is also useful as a model for mammalian metabolism due to similarities between mammalian and microbial enzyme systems. The development of novel biocatalytic methods is a continuously growing area of chemistry, microbiology, and genetic engineering, andnovel microorganisms and/or their enzymes are being screened intensively. This review covers the transformationof non-terpenoid compounds such as steroids, coumarins, flavonoids, drugs, pesticides and others by Mucor spp. up to the end of 2012.
