“…The cultivation time was 72 hours, and the pigment production was growth associated (HAJJAJ et al, 1998;LEE et al, 2001). Figure 2 shows the specific growth rate (µ x ) and the specific production rate of red pigments (µ p ) obtained in the cultivation, indicating that pigment production is growth associated.…”

“…Pigment production (units of absorbance, UA) was calculated by multiplying the absorbance values by the dilution factor [21]. The results for red pigment production were expressed as the absorbance units (U) multiplied by a dilution factor according to Lee et al [22].…”

The present study describes the red pigment synthesized by the filamentous fungi Isaria farinosa under submerged culture conditions. The pigment production was optimal under the following conditions: pH 5, agitation speed 150 rpm, temperature 27 °C, incubation time 192 h, light source total darkness, sucrose and glucose as carbon source, yeast extract, meat peptone and monosodium glutamate at a fixed concentration of 3% as nitrogen source. The addition of 10 mM CaCl 2 to the culture medium increased the biomass and pigment production. Structural elucidation of the pigment using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that the red pigment contains an anthraquinone-related compound. In addition, the isolated pigment was water soluble, and was stable when exposed to salt solution (96.1% of stability after treatment with sodium chloride), acid (72.1% with citric acid), heat (86.2% at 60 °C), and sunlight (99.4%). These results are promising to further exploit the fungal culture of Isaria farinosa for producing the red pigment and, subsequently, to considerably increase its yield. The study has commercial importance in the production of Isaria farinosa pigment for industrial application after considerable toxicological examination.

“…Ng et al (2004) found that the higher certain zinc concentration, the lower biomass produced but the higher pigment produced. Lee et al (2001) found that the zinc inhibited red pigment production. Bau and Wong (1979) showed that the growth, pigmentation and antibacterial activity of M. purpureus (starch fungus) were affected by zinc.…”

The combined effects of zinc, gibberellic acid, vitamin B 2 , amino acids (glycine and L-leucine) on pigment production were evaluated in a liquid culture of Monascus purpureus. In this study, response surface design was used to optimize each parameter. The data were analyzed using Minitab 14 software. Five parameters were applied by using response surface methodology for pigment production in liquid cultures. Four zinc, 11 gibberellic acids, three vitamins B 2 , eleven and fifteen amino acids (glycine and L-leucine) respectively; levels were evaluated. The highest production of pigment was reached with a 10 mg/l vitamin B 2 , 50 mg/l gibberellic acid and 50 mg/l glycine amino acid.
