| Abstract | Medium supplementation with carboxymethyl cellulose resulted in production of Rhizopus arrhizus mycelium with an increased specific capacity to biotransform progesterone to ll-a-hydroxyprogesterone. This increase may be attributed to the observed differences in morphology. Morphologies of the control and CMC-grown mycelia were clumped, pelleted and dispersed respectively. Carbopol-grown mycelium, which manifested a clumped, dispersed morphology, intermediate between that of the control and CMCgrown mycelia, had a lower progesterone transforming capacity. |
