Summary
It could be shown that the 15α-hydroxylase ofPenicillium raistrickii i 477 is inducible by the substrate 13-ethylgon-4-en-3, 17-dione as well as other 3,17-ketosteroids. The influence of inducer concentration, time of this induction and the kind of steroid inducer is described and discussed.
