Monascus Mucoroides

	Monascus Mucoroides ''Monascus'' is a genus of mold. Among the known species of this genus, the red-pigmented ''Monascus purpureus'' is among the most important because of its use in the production of certain fermented foods in East Asia, particularly China and Japan. It has also been found associated with the nests of some bee species, particularly bumblebees and sweat bees though its function in these environments is unclear.

	Monascus Purpureus ''Monascus purpureus'' (syn. ''M. albidus'', ''M. anka'', ''M. araneosus'', ''M. major'', ''M. rubiginosus'', and ''M. vini''; zh, s= 红曲霉, t=紅麴黴, p=hóng qū méi, lit. "red yeast") is a species of mold that is purplish-red in color. It is also known by the names ang-khak rice mold, corn silage mold, maize silage mold, and rice kernel discoloration. Taxonomy and morphology The sexual state of ''M. purpureus'' is a cleistothecium with a two-layered wall, enclosing round, evanescent eight-spored asci, lifted above the substrate on a multi-hyphal stalk. Ascospores can be heat-resistant. The asexual state forms chains of hyaline, or brownish, chlamydospore-like cells. Physiology and metabolites During growth, ''Monascus'' spp. breaks down starch substrate into several metabolites, including pigments produced as secondary metabolites. The structure of pigments depends on the type of substrate and other specific factors during culture, such as acidity or basicity ( ...
