Stimulatory effects of blue light on the growth, monascin and ankaflavin production in Monascus.
TL;DR: The expression of pigment biosynthetic genes were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR and correlated with phenotypic production of MS and AK and changed the color of colonies.

Optimization of submerged fermentation medium for citrinin-free monascin production by Monascus.
TL;DR: This study investigated the influences of carbon source, nitrogen source, and mineral salts on the cell growth, monascin (MS), and citrinin (CT) production in Monascus M9 to find no CT was detectable by high performance liquid chromatography.

Effects of blue light on pigment biosynthesis of Monascus
TL;DR: Exposure to varying levels of blue light could enhance RUM, MOM, MS, and AK production and reduce RUN and MON compared with non-exposure, whereas gene MpPKS5, MppR1, mppR2, and mppE were positively correlated with the yields of RUN and monascorubrin.

The molecular mechanisms of Monascus purpureus M9 responses to blue light based on the transcriptome analysis
TL;DR: This work proposes a predicted light-stimulated signal transduction pathway in Monascus that upregulated expression of genes involved with aromatic amino acid metabolism, which associated with development, and branched chain amino acids metabolism, and fatty acid degradation, which can produce the biosynthetic precursors of pigments.
