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 ...

Divergence of metabolites in three phylogenetically close Monascus species (M. pilosus, M. ruber, and M. purpureus) based on secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Species of the genus Monascus are considered to be economically important and have been widely used in the production of yellow and red food colorants. In particular, three Monascus species, namely, M. pilosus, M. purpureus, and M.

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.

Production of Low‐fat mayonnaise without preservatives: Using the ultrasonic process and investigating of microbial and physicochemical properties of the resultant product

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2676-2685, May 2021., 2021
In this study, Ultrasonication was replaced with traditional preservatives of low‐fat mayonnaise. Shelf life of low‐fat mayonnaise increase with its ultrasonication. Molds, yeasts, and other spoiling micro‐organisms can be controlled with ultrasonication Micrographs of SEM can be successfully used for texture changes of sonicated low‐fat mayonnaise ...

Hybridorubrins A–D: Azaphilone Heterodimers from Stromata of Hypoxylon fragiforme and Insights into the Biosynthetic Machinery for Azaphilone Diversification

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 1438-1450, January 18, 2021., 2021
Two become one! Hybridorubrins A–D, unprecedented bis‐azaphilones isolated from the stromata of the ascomycete Hypoxylon fragiforme, are composed of mitorubrin‐ and fragirubrin‐type moieties. As revealed by genome analysis, two distantly located biosynthetic gene clusters work together to form these precursors. In contrast to their building blocks, the
