Rising temperature stimulates the biosynthesis of water-soluble fluorescent yellow pigments and gene expression in Monascus ruber CGMCC10910 [PDF]

AMB Express, 2017
Monascus species can produce secondary metabolites that have a polyketide structure. In this study, four types of extracellular water-soluble yellow pigments (Y1–Y4) were generated by submerged fermentation with Monascus ruber CGMCC 10910, of which Y3 ...

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 ...

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

Core Steps to the Azaphilone Family of Fungal Natural Products

ChemBioChem, Volume 22, Issue 21, Page 3027-3036, November 3, 2021., 2021
Azaphilones are a polyketide‐based family of fungal natural products with a highly oxygenated bicyclic pyrone‐quinone structure, many of which have useful and interesting bioactivities. This minireview reveals the common steps in azaphilone biosynthetic pathways to aid the use of genome mining to identify orphan azaphilone biosynthetic gene clusters ...

Thermal stability of natural pigments produced by Monascus purpureus in submerged fermentation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 9, Issue 9, Page 4855-4862, September 2021., 2021
Thermal degradation and half‐life value of the red Monascus purpureus pigments were analyzed using response surface methodology followed by a first‐order kinetic reaction. The major aim of this study was to assess thermal stability of red pigments produced by Monascus purpureus ATCC 16362/PTCC 5303 in submerged fermentation processes.
