Progesterone（1） was biotransformed into the title compound 12β,15α-dihydroxy-progesterone（2） with Colletotrichum lini AS3.4486.The biotransformation process was monitored with HPLC.The structure of 2 was determined by 1H NMR,13C NMR,ESI-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal of the compound belongs to orthorhombic,space group P212121 with a = 8.0671（9）,b = 12.3970（15）,c = 18.532（3） ,Z = 4,V = 1853.3（4）3,Dc = 1.242 mg/m3,μ = 0.084 mm-1,F（000） = 752,R = 0.0373 and wR = 0.0850.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that a 1D supramolecular structure of 2 has been constructed by multiply intermolecular O（2）-H（2）…O（4） and O（3）-H（3）…O（2） H-bonding interactions.
