A NEW MICROORGANISM STREPTOMYCES EXFOLIATUS YJ-118 AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING PRAVASTATIN SODIUM BY USING THE STRAIN

摘要

The present invention is related to a new microorganism Streptomyces exfoliatus YJ-118 and a method for producing pravastatin sodium represented in formula (I) by using this microorganism which shows a strong tolerance to ML-236B and a high hydroxylation activity of ML-236B to pravastatin.
