Abstract: For screening the strains producing lovastatin, 56 strains were isolated from 12 samples. Five lovastatin-producing strains were obtained by screening comprised approach of TLC and HPLC. The high-yield lovastatin producing strain MPT13 (0.263 mg/mL) was identified as Monascus purpure based on individual form, colony characteristics, and molecular biology futures.
