چکیده

Three actinomycetes having capability of 3 beta-hydroxylation of ML-236B were isolated from soil samples collected in Australia. Strain SANK 62781 was identified as Nocardia autotrophica. Strain SANK 62881 and strain SANK 62981 were identified as new subspecies of N. autotrophica for which the name N. autotrophica subsp. canberrica and N. autotrophica subsp. amethystina are proposed, respectively. The type strains of N. autotrophica subsp. canberrica and N. autotrophica subsp. amethystina are ATCC 35203 and ATCC 35204.

Formation of dihydroxy derivative of ML-236B from ML-236B (compactin) by lipid peroxidation.

monooxygenase system in Strepiomyces carbophilus that hydroxylates sodium ML-236B-carboxylate to pravastatin6). Dihydroxy derivative of ML-236B is also obtained in case of S. carbophilus. At first, we determined whether the formation of dihydroxy derivative of ML-236Bdepends upon cytochrome P-450sca monooxygenase or not. According to that paper, S. carbophilus was cultured and cytochrome P-450s...
