LOVASTATIN PRODUCTION BY ASPERGILLUS TERREUS ON DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES IN SOLID-PHASE FERMENTATION

Abstract

We report the possibility of solid-phase fermentation of local strains A.terreus 4 and A.terreus 20 on different substrates with a significant yield of lovastatin. The greatest growth of producers and maximum accumulation of statins in both strains on all the substrates is observed on the 11 day of fermentation. The level of lovastatin production in the strain A.terreus 4 is higher than in A.terreus 20. It is found that the level of biosynthesis of lovastatin in A.terreus 4 when using oats as a solid substrate considerably exceeds all other substrates used. The maximum quantity is equal to 4.32 mg/g of dry substrate when the methanol extraction is employed.
