Highly Efficient Production of Tailored Monascus Pigments by Using a Biocompatible Chemical Reaction Interfacing with Microbial Metabolism

Lujie Liu et al.

Summary: By utilizing a biocompatible reaction interfacing with microbial metabolism, researchers have successfully designed a cascade reaction to efficiently degrade and convert orange pigments into stable red pigments. This optimization strategy not only tailors the color profile of microbial fermentation products, but also eliminates possible degradation and feedback inhibition while achieving a high concentration of red pigments. Additionally, the approach holds potential for the efficient microbial fermentation of other azaphilone alkaloids.
