ANG-KHAK CULTURE PRODUCT CONTAINING PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ang-khak (for example, Monascus pilosus) culture product containing a physiologically active substance such as monakolin K in a high concentration, to provide a method for producing the same, to provide an ang-khak culture product containing the physiologically active substance originated from bean curd refuse, and to provide a new Basipetospora strain capable of producing the monakolin K in a high concentration.;SOLUTION: The method for producing a monakolin K-containing composition comprises a process for culturing the ang-khak in a liquid culture medium in which the bean curd refuse is dispersed. The monakolin K-containing composition is produced by the method. The new Basipetospora strain can produce the monakolin K in the high concentration.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
