Comparative analysis of genetic polymorphisms amongMonascusstrains by ISSR and RAPD markers

Abstract: Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation in genetic distances assessed using above two markers, which indicated they were suitable for Monascus species characterization. ISSR markers were more suitable for the classification and determination of Monascus species, while RAPD markers appear to be preferable for analyzing the differences among strains within the same species. Our study revealed that Monascus possesses rich genetic diversity, and that the genetic relationships among the sel… Show more

“…Monascus strains were isolated from RYR collected from various manufacturers and local markets in China, and preserved in our laboratory. Detailed information about these strains has been described previously [ 20 ]. Monascus strains were inoculated onto slant cultures (MEA: 6% malt extract, 1.5% agar) at 35 °C for 10 d for initial growth.…”

“…These include red pigments (rubropunctamine and monascurubramin), orange pigments (rubropunctatin and monascorubrin), and yellow pigments (monascine and ankaflavin) among others [2]. Monascus is a saprophytic fungus used for more than a thousand years in Asian countries, in the production of fermented foods, red tofu, red wines, Kaoliang, etc., in addition to attributing to them antimutagenic, anticancer, antimicrobial properties, and possible anti-obesity activities [5,6]. In addition, the fungus produces monacolin K, a secondary metabolite beneficial to human health that regulates cholesterol biosynthesis [7].…”
