Monascus ruber as cell factory for lactic acid production at low pH

open access: yesMetabolic Engineering, 2017
A Monascus ruber strain was isolated that was able to grow on mineral medium at high sugar concentrations and 175g/l lactic acid at pH 2.8. Its genome and transcriptomes were sequenced and annotated. Genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were introduced to accomplish lactic acid production and two genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) were ...

MpigE, a gene involved in pigment biosynthesis in Monascus ruber M7

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013
Monascus pigments (MPs) have been used as food colorants for several centuries in Asian countries. However, MP biosynthesis pathway is still a controversy, and only few related genes have been reported. In this study, the function of MpigE, a gene involved in MP biosynthesis in Monascus ruber M7, was analyzed.

Deletion of pigR gene in Monascus ruber leads to loss of pigment production

Biotechnology Letters, 2013
Pigments produced by Monascus are traditional food colorants and are widely used as dietary supplements. Since genes involving in pigment biosynthesis have not been reported, we describe the identification of a putative pigment-regulatory gene (pigR) obtained by molecular analysis of an albino strain of Monascus ruber M7.

Acidic conditions induce the accumulation of orange Monascus pigments during liquid-state fermentation of Monascus ruber M7

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
The influence of pH on the biosynthesis of orange Monascus pigments (OMPs) in Monascus ruber M7 was investigated. Under acidic fermentation conditions, pigment mixtures predominantly rich in OMPs were obtained. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of four orange components (O1-O4) and four yellow components (Y1-Y4) in the mixtures, and the dominant ones

Identification and role analysis of an intermediate produced by a polygenic mutant of Monascus pigments cluster in Monascus ruber M7

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016
Monascus pigments (Mps) are a group of azaphilonic secondary metabolites produced by Monascus spp. via a polyketide pathway. A mutant deleted an about 30 kb region of Mps gene cluster from Monascus ruber M7 was isolated previously, which produces a high amount of a light yellow pigment.
