Screening of Lovastatin Production by Filamentous Fungi
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
In the present study, 110 fungal strains of Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) including some selected strains isolated in various screening projects were tested for their potentiality to produce lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reduc-tase), the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. The fungal strains were cultivated in a two-stage submerged fermentation followed by screening by TLC. All positive results were evaluated by confirmatory HPLC. Nine species of four genera were found to be lovastatin producers. Aspergillus terreus was the best lovastatin producing strain with a level of 55 mg lovastatin per liter of screening production medium

متن کاملScreening of culture condition for xylanase production by filamentous fungi
The objective of this research was to investigate xylanase production by filamentous fungi (Trichoderma viride) to determine the best cultivation conditions in the process, aiming toward optimization of enzyme production. The best temperature, as well as the best carbon source, for biomass production was determined through an automated turbidimetric method (Bioscreen-C). The enzyme activity of ...
متن کاملProduction of L-asparaginase by filamentous fungi.
L-asparaginase production was investigated in the filamentous fungi Aspergillus tamarii and Aspergillus terreus. The fungi were cultivated in medium containing different nitrogen sources. A. terreus showed the highest L-asparaginase (activity) production level (58 U/L) when cultivated in a 2% proline medium. Both fungi presented the lowest level of L-asparaginase production in the presence of g...
متن کاملIsolation and Screening of Amylolytic Filamentous Fungi
Filamentous fungi are important due to their high enzymes production potential. Many enzymes produced by fungi have related to biotechnological applications in several industrial sectors. The purpose of this study was to isolate filamentous fungi from different sources and to screen for amylases production potential. Fifteen fungal isolates of three genera, Aspergilus, Penicillium and Trichoder...
متن کاملScreening of filamentous fungi to identify biocatalysts for lupeol biotransformation.
The goal of the study was to evaluate the ability of filamentous fungi to biotransform the pentacyclic triterpene lupeol. The microbial transformations were carried out in shake flasks in different media. Experiments were also run with control flasks. Samples of each culture were taken every 24 hours, extracted with ethyl acetate, and analyzed by GC-MS. The biotransformation of lupeol by Asperg...
متن کاملTransformation of filamentous fungi by electroporation.
Transformation systems have been reported for a number of filamentous fungi (1) based on the procedure perfected for Neurospora crassa by Case et al. employing sphaeroplasts (2). While efficient transformation is achieved with sphaeroplasts, their preparation demands a careful monitoring of the individual steps, along with optimization of conditions for each batch of cell wall-degrading enzymes...
