Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel mutant of Aspergillus terreus which shows a resistance to both cerulenin and L-methionine analogue, and a process for preparing mevinolinic acid which comprises aerobic culture of the mutant strain and recovery of mevinolinic acid. The mutant of the present invention provides a remarkably high productivity of mevinolinic acid while reducing the production of byproducts such as mevinolinic acid analogues, when compared with a wild type Aspergillus terreus isolated from soil environment in Korea, and it successfully produce mevinolinic acid by employing monosaccharides such as glucose and galactose, unlike the mother strain.
