What is Fermentation?

Fermentation is a biochemical process where microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi convert organic substances—such as sugars, starches, or other raw materials—into valuable products like alcohol, acids, gases, or bioactive compounds. It is widely used in industries for producing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, food products, biofuels, and specialty chemicals.

Fermentation in the Synthesis of Lovastatin

Fermentation is the primary method used to produce Lovastatin, a statin drug used to lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase. The process utilizes fungal fermentation, where specific strains of Aspergillus terreus or Monascus species produce Lovastatin as a secondary metabolite.

Reaction

Microorganism: Aspergillus terreus or Monascus spp

Biosynthetic Pathway: Polyketide Synthase (PKS) Pathway

Precursors: Acetate & Malonate units
