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 ...

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.
