Introduction
• Fermentation
– Process involving the biochemical activity of organisms,
during their growth, development, reproduction, even
senescence and death.
• Fermentation Technology
– Involves the use of microorganisms and enzymes for
production of compounds which have application in the
energy, material, pharmaceutical, chemical and the food
industry.
Basic Principle of Industrial Fermentation
6 Death phase: The period in which the cell numbers decrease steadily.
This is due to death of the cells because of cessation of metabolic
activity and depletion of energy resources.
Depending upon the product required the different phases of the cell
growth are maintained.
– For microbial mass the log phase is preferred.
– For production of secondary metabolites i.e. antibiotics, the
stationary phase is preferred.
Procedure of Fermentation
• Glucose can be replaced by sucrose or maltose for the supply of carbon source.
• In recent years, lipids such as corn oil, when added to the medium for energy
purpose, have a profound influence on riboflavin production.
• The process is carried out for about 5-7 days by submerged aerated
fermentation.

Simvastatin, a semisynthetic derivertive of lovastatin, is
an important drug for the treatment of
hypercholesteromia, and is traditionally prepared by
direct alkylation of lovastatin.
• Chemical reaction conditons are very rigid, and
the final product is difficult to purify, also the
pressure of labor protection and environment
protection is very high.
• Recently, with the devolpement in the research of
lovastatin biosynthesis, more and more attention has
been paid to simvastatin biosynthesis.
