Investigation of monacolin K, yellow pigments, and citrinin production capabilities of Monascus purpureus and Monascus ruber (Monascus pilosus). [PDF]

J Food Drug Anal, 2023
Red mold rice (RMR) is a traditional Chinese medicine prepared using Monascus fermentation. M. ruber (pilosus) and M. purpureus have a long history of use as food and medicine. As an economically important starter culture, the relationship between the taxonomy of Monascus and production capabilities of secondary metabolites is crucial for the Monascus ...

Transfigured Morphology and Ameliorated Production of Six Monascus Pigments by Acetate Species Supplementation in Monascus ruber M7 [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Monascus species have been used for the production of many industrially and medically important metabolites, most of which are polyketides produced by the action of polyketide synthases that use acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA as precursors, and some of them ...

Enhancement of Monascus Azaphilone Pigments Production Without Citrinin Contamination by Targeting Overexpression of Histone Acetyltransferase MrEsa1 and Deletion of Polyketide Synthase PksCT [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Monascus spp. are renowned for producing valuable Monascus azaphilone pigments (MonAzPs), yet their biosynthesis is intrinsically linked to the co-production of the mycotoxin citrinin, posing a significant safety challenge and limiting industrial ...

The acyl-CoA binding protein affects Monascus pigment production in Monascus ruber CICC41233. [PDF]

3 Biotech, 2018
The present study verified whether acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA)-binding protein (ACBP) affected the production of Monascus pigments (MPs) in Monascus ruber CICC41233 (MrACBP). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the cloned Mracbp gene, which encoded the MrACBP protein, exhibited the closest match (99% confidence level) to the gene from Penicilliopsis ...

Draft genome sequence of Monascus ruber strain FM39-7. [PDF]

Microbiol Resour Announc
ABSTRACT In China, certain Monascus ruber strains are traditionally used as edible fungi. We sequenced the genome of M. ruber FM39-7 strain, an isolate from fermented rice. The genome is 25.89 Mb with a G + C content of 48.86%, containing 8485 annotated genes.

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.

The acyl-CoA-binding protein 2 exhibited the highest affinity for palmitoyl-CoA and promoted Monascus pigment production

Annals of Microbiology, 2023
Purpose The present study aimed to explore the binding ability of acyl-CoA binding protein 2 to fatty acid acyl-CoA esters and its effect on Monascus pigment production in M. ruber CICC41233. Methods The Mracbp2 gene from M.

Insight into the phylogeny and metabolic divergence of Monascus species (M. pilosus, M. ruber, and M. purpureus) at the genome level

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundSpecies of the genus Monascus are economically important and widely used in the production of food colorants and monacolin K. However, they have also been known to produce the mycotoxin citrinin.

Production of angkak through co-culture of Monascus purpureus and Monascus ruber [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2010
Angkak (red mold rice, red yeast rice, Chinese red rice) is a traditional Chinese medicine produced by solid-state fermentation of cooked non-glutinous rice with Monascus species. The secondary metabolite of Monascus species, monacolin K /lovastatin, has been proven to lower blood lipid levels. In this study, a co-culture of Monascus purpureus MTCC 369
