Time courses of a lovastatin, b (+)-geodin, c butyrolactone I and d asterric acid concentration values in A. terreus ATCC 20542 cultures propagated in the tested cultivation media. Cultivation runs were performed in triplicates and the corresponding standard deviation values are reported as error bars. The P values resulting from the two-sample t test are presented in Supplementary Tables 5–8 to indicate, whether the mean results obtained for the standard cultivation medium (containing 20 g l⁻¹ of lactose and 2 g l⁻¹ of yeast extract) differed significantly from the mean values recorded for the remaining tested media
