Resumo

The production of lovastatin by Aspergillus terreus PU-PCSIR-1 was studied using submerged fermentation technique. Effects of pH, incubation temperature, incubation time, and the media components on the production of lovastatin were investigated. Maximum lovastatin yield (198.90 mg/L) was achieved after 14 days of incubation at temperature 28°C and pH 7.4. Peptonized milk, linoleic acid, glucose, yeast extract, and trace elements had a positive impact on the production of lovastatin by A. terreus.
