Screening of known and unidentified actinomycetes revealed three strains which can hydroxylate compactin to pravastatin. They showed taxonomic properties which are consistent with those of Actinomadura sp., Streptomyces tanashiensis and Streptomyces anulatus. Actinomadura sp. strain 2966 effected a 60% bioconversion of added compactin.
