Effects of VeA Gene on the Growth, Pigment and Citrinin Synthesis of Monascus ruber M7 [PDF]

Microorganisms
Monascus spp. is widely used in food fermentation and additive production, and some of its strains produce citrinin (CIT), which is nephrotoxic. In this study, we constructed a mutant strain of Monascus ruber M7 (M.

Evaluating Antitumor and Antioxidant Activities of Yellow Monascus Pigments from Monascus ruber Fermentation [PDF]

Molecules, 2018
Yellow Monascus pigments can be of two kinds: Natural and reduced, in which natural yellow Monascus pigments (NYMPs) attract widespread attention for their bioactivities. In this study, the antioxidative and antibreast cancer effects of the water-soluble

Transcriptome Analysis Revealed the Molecular Mechanism of Acetic Acid Increasing Monascus Pigment Production in Monascus ruber CICC41233 [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
The addition of acetic acid to Monascus ruber cultures is usually used to inhibit the growth of heterotrophic bacteria; however, we found that acetic acid also promotes the growth of M. ruber CICC41233, as well as the synthesis of Monascus pigments (MPs).
