Lovastatin acts mevalonate during cholesterol biosynthesis (Alberts et al.

In nature, B. P. Panda M. AliPharmaceutical Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Pharmacy, solid substrate fermentation is carried out by mixed cultures of different fungal species. The coculture of fungi during fermentation may provide help for better biomass and secondary metabolite productions; moreover, it helps in proper utilization of substrate. There are several reports of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Laboratory, coculture of fungal species found to enhance enzyme, Faculty of Science, Jamia Hamdard (Hamdard University), organic acid production, and microbial bioconversion reaction (Banerjee et al.

Unfortunately, no study has been carried out for production of lovastatin by coculture or mixed culture 9.68 g/l, dextrose 38.90 g/l, MnSO4.H2O 1.96 g/l, and of Monascus species under solid-state fermentation.

The mixtures were centrifuged at 3,000×g for 8 min, Fungal cultures of M. purpureus MTCC 369 and M. ruber supernatant (1 ml) was collected, and 1% trifluoroacetic MTCC 1880 were obtained from the Institute of Microbial acid (10 ml) was added for lactonization of the lovastatin.

Fungal cultures were The resultant was concentrated at 80 °C (without applying maintained routinely on a potato dextrose agar medium vacuum), diluted to 1 ml with acetonitrile and filtered containing agar (1.5%), diced potatoes (30%), and glucose through a 0.45-μm filter for high-performance liquid (2%) and subcultured in every 30-day interval (Sayyad et chromatography (HPLC) analysis (Su et al. ).
Procedure given by Samiee et al. for HPLC analysis Spore suspensions of M. purpureus and M. ruber was was slightly modified. Lovastatin was estimated by prepared separately from actively growing slants in sterile HPLC (SHIMADZU, Japan) using 250 × 4.6 mm ID water and diluted to a concentration 5.7×103 spores per Lichrosper® 100 C18 column of 5 μm particle size, 20 μl milliliter. Spore counting was carried out using a hemocy- loop injector, and Shimadzu CLASS-VP version 5.032 tometer. Spore suspension (7.5 ml) of M. purpureus was software. Acetonitrile/water (65:35 v/v), acidified with inoculated to conical flasks containing 50 ml basal medium ortho-phosphoric acid to the concentration 0.1%, was used (100 g dextrose, 10 g peptone, 2 g KNO3, 2 g NH4H2PO4, as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min, and 0.5 g MgSO4.7H2O, 0.1 g CaCl2 in 1,000 ml distilled detection was carried out by UV detector (SPD10A VP) at water; adjusted to pH 6.0) and incubated at 30 °C for 48 h 235 nm (Samiee et al. Sayyad et al. ).
in a shaker incubator at 110 rpm (Sayyad et al. ; Su etal. ). Spore suspension (7.5 ml) of M. ruber wasinoculated to conical flasks containing 50 ml of potato dextrose broth, incubated at 30 °C for 4 days with shakingat 150 rpm (Chang et al. ). Finally both the seed Fermentation process parameters such as temperature, cultures of M. purpureus and M. ruber were mixed at a fermentation time periods, inoculum volume, and pH of the solid medium are selected for lovastatin productionunder coculture of M. purpureus MTCC 369 and M. ruber MTCC1880 during solid-state fermentation, and RSM forprocess optimization was followed.
Long-grain, nonglutinous rice was purchased from the To identify the optimum levels of different process local market of New Delhi, India, and was used as a base parameters influencing lovastatin production, solid-state solid substrate for red mold rice production under solid- fermentation was carried out in conical flasks containing state culture. Initially, 20 g of presoaked rice was taken in a optimized nutrients. Four process parameters (temperature, 250-ml conical flask to which 40 ml of distilled water fermentation time, inoculum volume, and pH of the solid containing different optimized nutrients (malt extract medium) were chosen for study by borrowing methodology Table 1 Box–Behnken design for process parameters with lovastatin concentration (actual and predicted) under the coculture system as these process parameters mostly influence the growth ofdifferent fungal strains and secondary metabolite produc- Table 2 The analysis of variance of the calculated model of process tion during solid-state fermentation. An experimental parameters for lovastatin production in the coculture system design of 29 runs containing five central points was made according to Box–Behnken’s response surface design forfour selected parameters. The individual and interactive effects of these (process parameters) variables were studied by conducting the fermentation run at different levels of all factors. The response was measured in milligram of lovastatin per gram of fermented rice. The results of experimental and simulated values are listed in Table .
Lovastatin production in each experimental run was analyzed using the software Design Expert 7.1 (Statease, USA) and fitted into a multiple nonlinear regression model.
The model proposes the following equation.
Lovastatin (mg/g) = 2.81−0.26×temperature−0.023× fermentation time −0.13×inoculum volume+0.035× pH of the solid medium −0.12×temperature×fermen- tation time −0.17×temperature×inoculum volume+ 0.12×temperature×pH of the solid medium −0.24×fermentation time×inoculum volume+0.092×fermen-tation time ×pH of the solid medium +0.058×inocu-lum volume × pH of the solid medium − 1.02 ×temperature2−0.49×fermentation time2−0.29×inocu-lum volume2−0.65×pH of the solid medium2 This multiple nonlinear quadratic model resulted in six response surface graphs. A few representative responsesurface plots of the calculated model for lovastatinproduction are shown in Fig. and c. The analysis ofvariance of the model for lovastatin production is repre-sented in Table Point prediction of the design expert software was used to determine the optimum values of the factors formaximum lovastatin production. Finally, the optimumvalues of temperature at 29.46 °C, fermentation time for13.89 days, inoculum volume of 4.95 ml, and at a mediumpH of 6.03 were determined. These values predict2.83 mg/g of lovastatin production by coculture of M.
purpureus and M. ruber under solid-state fermentation.
These optimized values of process parameters werevalidated by solid-state fermentation of rice containingpreviously optimized medium parameters (malt extract9.68 g/l, dextrose 38.90 g/l, MnSO4.H2O 1.96 g/l, andMgSO4.7H2O 0.730 g/l), and an average 2.80 mg/g oflovastatin production in solid substrate was obtained. Thisshows 98.93% validity of the predicted model.
Solid-state fermentation runs were designed according to Box–Behnken design of RSM at randomly selecteddifferent levels. The process parameters temperature,fermentation time periods, and inoculum volume wasnegatively significant factors, and the pH of the fermenta- Table 3 Analysis of variance of model parameters Fig. 1 Response surface plots showing relative effects of different process parameters on lovastatin production during solid-statefermentation tion medium was a positively significant factor.
