Co-culture with Lactobacillus plantarum SC-1 facilitates ergosterol synthesis in Monascus purpureus through MpSet1-affected H3K4ac establishment [PDF]
IntroductionIn fungi, ergosterol synthesis is regulated by multiple transcription factors such as Upc2, but the regulation of ergosterol synthesis in Monascus remains unclear.MethodsWe performed a co-culture system of Monascus purpureus (M.

Mannitol improves Monascus pigment biosynthesis with rice bran as a substrate in Monascus purpureus. [PDF]
To reduce the production cost of Monascus pigments (MPs), the utilization of rice bran (RB), an agricultural waste product, as a substrate in submerged fermentation was conducted in this study. To improve MP production, different nutritional ingredients including mannitol (Man), NH4NO3 (AN), ZnSO4 (Zn), and optimization (Opti), which was a synthesis of
