Pharmacologically active stigmast-4-en-3-one, the maximum formation of which (93.4 %) was achieved in the presence of n-hexadecane and palmitic acid, was produced by biotransformation of β-sitosterol (6 g/L) using rhodococcus cells. β-Sitosterol was added to the incubation medium as a mixture with β-cyclodextrin and Tween-80. The biotransformation processing conditions were optimized for β-sitosterol at high concentrations (10 g/L) using R. erythropolis IEGM 90 cells to catalyze formation of stigmast-4-en-3-one (75 %).
