Contents lovastatin in different strains aspergillus terreus
Abstract
terreus, isolated from different soil samples (red soil,
the peel of salt with soil ) in Uzbekistan, as potential
producers of lovastatin and related compounds have
been studied. Four active strains of investigated sample
have been found. One of them together with lovastatin
is capable to produce small amounts of simvastatin.
Original content of lovastatin in the biomass of active
strains gives grounds to consider them quite promising
for this purpose
