Abstract
Microorganisms from the genus Bacillus are used to convert chenodeoxycholic acid to 3-alpha-hydroxy-7-keto-5-beta-cholanic acid under aerobic conditions and alkaline pH. Preferred strains are Bacillus FERM BP-4390, Bacillus FERM BP-4391, Bacillus FERM BP-3651, Bacillus FERM BP-3393, Bacillus FERM BP-3398, Bacillus FERM BP-3395 and Bacillus FERM BP-3396. Microorganisms from the genus Bacillus are used to convert cholic acid to 3-alpha-hydroxy-7,12-diketo-5-beta-cholanic acid under aerobic conditions and alkaline pH. Preferred strains are Bacillus FERM BP-3393 and Bacillus FERM BP-3398. Microorganisms from the genus Bacillus are used to convert cholic acid to 3-alpha, 12-alpha-dihydroxy-7-keto-5-cholanic acid under aerobic conditions and alkaline PH.
