Highly efficient improvement of Monascus pigment production by accelerating starch hydrolysis in Monascus ruber CICC41233 [PDF]

3 Biotech, 2018
To investigate the relationship between starch hydrolysis and Monascus pigments (MPs) production, the α-amylase gene (AOamyA) from Aspergillus oryzae was heterologously expressed in Monascus ruber CICC41233, and we obtained a positive transformant named Monascus ruber Amy9. In M.

Metabolomics and Microbiomics Perspectives Reveal the Regulatory Pathways of Monaphilone B Derived From Red Yeast Rice on Alcoholic Liver Injury in Mice

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
Monaphilone B (MB) from red yeast rice mitigates alcoholic liver injury through the regulation of the gut microbiome, liver metabolism, lipid metabolism, and oxidative defense. ABSTRACT Red yeast rice (RYR) has been extensively used as a natural food for thousands of years and still plays an important role in the world food industry. In this study, the
