Identification of new red pigments produced by Monascus ruber

Dyes and Pigments, 2007
A new monascus red pigment, which was produced in a defined medium with rice and hydrolytic bean powder was identified by IR, UV, NMR and ESI-MS. It was free pigments linked to lysine by amino group, where nitrogen replaced the pyronoid oxygen without hydrophilic side chain.

Suface Features of Monascus ruber van Tieghem Cleistothecia

Botanical Gazette, 1978
Cleistothecial production of Monascus ruber van Tieghem was investigated during delimitation of the antheridium, ascogonium, trichogyne, and ascospore release. Attention was directed to cleistothecial development with formation of branched, sterile, investing hyphae and to the flattening and anastomosis of external cells in the protective wall.

Identification and role analysis of an intermediate produced by a polygenic mutant of Monascus pigments cluster in Monascus ruber M7

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016
Monascus pigments (Mps) are a group of azaphilonic secondary metabolites produced by Monascus spp. via a polyketide pathway. A mutant deleted an about 30 kb region of Mps gene cluster from Monascus ruber M7 was isolated previously, which produces a high amount of a light yellow pigment.

Kinetic of orange pigment production from Monascus ruber on submerged fermentation

Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2016
Pigments produced by species of Monascus have been used to coloring rice, meat, sauces, wines and beers in East Asian countries. Monascus can produce orange (precursor), yellow and red pigments. Orange pigments have low solubility in culture media and when react with amino groups they become red and largely soluble.

Monascus ruber as cell factory for lactic acid production at low pH

Metabolic Engineering, 2017
A Monascus ruber strain was isolated that was able to grow on mineral medium at high sugar concentrations and 175g/l lactic acid at pH 2.8. Its genome and transcriptomes were sequenced and annotated. Genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were introduced to accomplish lactic acid production and two genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) were ...

Proteome analysis reveals global response to deletion of mrflbA in Monascus ruber

Journal of Microbiology, 2018
Monascus spp. are commonly used for a wide variety of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In previous studies, the knock-out of mrflbA (a putative regulator of the G protein α subunit) in M. ruber led to autolysis of the mycelia, decreased pigmentation and lowered mycotoxin production.

Conversion of a Monascus ruber esterase into a lipase by disrupting a salt bridge

Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic, 2016
Abstract Cold-active lipases have emerged as an important class of biocatalysts for chemical and food industries due to their high efficiency at low temperature and long-chain substrate preference. In an effort to explore the feasibility of converting a cold-active esterase from Monascus ruber (Lip10) into a cold-active lipase, an Y264F variant in ...

A fedbatch strategy for optimal red pigment production by monascus ruber

Bioprocess Engineering, 1995
According to the measurement of the pigment production and some material balance treatments, the monosodium glutamate (MSG), which represents a main substrate involved in the production of red pigment by Monascus ruber, is recovered on-line. Fedbatch operation then represents an alternative for increasing the production of pigment. A nonlinear quotient

Influence of Light Intensity on Growth and Pigment Production by Monascus ruber in Submerged Fermentation

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2015
To reduce environmental problems caused by glycerine accumulation and to make the production of biodiesel more profitable, crude glycerin without treatment was used as substrate for obtaining higher value-added bioproducts. Monascus ruber is a filamentous fungus that produces pigments, particularly red ones, which are used for coloring foods (rice wine

Insight into selenium biofortification and the selenite metabolic mechanism of Monascus ruber M7

Food Chemistry
Monascus species are functional fermentation fungi with great potential for selenium (Se) supplementation. This study investigated the effects of Se bio-fortification on the growth, morphology, and biosynthesis of Monascus ruber M7. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the yield of orange and red Monascus pigments (MPs) in red yeast rice (
