Divergence of metabolites in three phylogenetically close Monascus species (M. pilosus M. ruber and M. purpureus) based on secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters

摘要

Pigments for three Monascus species for PD agar and PDL cultures. aMonascus species are cultured in PD agar and PDL medium at 30 °C. b 2D clustering of pigment quantities among the three species. c Venn diagram of the pigments observed in PDL culture. Two-letter abbreviations use used for the Venn diagrams: Pi, M. pilosus NBRC 4520; Ru, M. ruber NBRC 4483; Pu, M. purpureus NBRC 4478
