Abstract
Microbial biotransformations are a combination of biochemical reactions to transform the structures of the phytochemicals and organic compounds, by exploiting microorganisms and their isolated enzymes, to develop a variety of useful constituents, through regio-stereo selectivity reactions and helping to generate products of good yield in order to support the future of green chemistry. Because many valuable drugs are derived from such natural compounds, there is much interest in their transformation to provide new compounds or intermediates for the synthesis of new orimproved drugs. This review aims to provide a survey of microbial transformations done on commonly available natural products to increase the yield of compounds.
