Preserved Fulltext
Lovastatin is a best known drug, which effectively inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis. In this study, lovastatin was produced from Pleurotus ostreatus by solid state fermentation process. Lovastatin was quantified by microbial assay using Candida albicans in the culture extracts of Pleurotus ostreatus.
