The metabolism of 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (17P(4)) was investigated in different subcellular fractions isolated from male gonads of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L). The existence of CYP17 (C17,20-lyase activity) and CYP11B (11beta-hydroxylase) catalyzed reactions was demonstrated in the mitochondrial fraction, where 17P(4)

In the present work, several samples from lab waste containers polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals were investigated as potential sources of PAH-degrading microorganisms. After isolating, two fungal strains were selected as the best degrading microorganisms. Genetic
