Biotransformations are structural modifications in a chemical compound by organisms /enzyme systems that lead to the formation of molecules with relatively greater polarity [1,2]. This mechanism has been developed by microbes to acclimatize to environmental changes and it is useful in a wide range of biotechnological processes [3]. The most significant aspect of biotransformation is that it maintains the original carbon skeleton after obtaining the products [4].
