The objective of the present study was screening of 3-hydroxy-3- methyl glutaryl Co A (HMG Co A) reductase inhibitor producing marine actinomycetes. A total of 65 morphologically different actinomycetes were screened for HMG Co A reductase inhibitor production in a two stage submerged fermentation and evaluated for HMG CoA reductase inhibitor activity by agar diffusion and thin layer chromatography technique using lovostatin as a control. Among 65 marine Actinomycete strains, only one strain produced HMG Co A reductase inhibitor.
