Vol. 43, No. 1 y y 65 ABSTRACT : Optimization of Production of Pigment from Monascus sp. in Liquid Culture Young-Eun Seo, Hyuck-Jun Jung 1, Soon-Myung Hong, and Tae Shick Yu 1, * (Department of Food and Nutrition, Ulsan University, Ulsan 680-765, Korea, 1 Department of Microbiology, Keimyung University, Daegu 701-704, Korea) The optimal conditions for Monascus pigments production of, pigment overproducing mutant, in submerged culture was investigated. The optimal medium for the production of pigment from KM 1001 mutant is determined to be composed of 4% rice powder, 0.15% Bacto-peptone, 0.1% glycine, 0.01% FeSO 4 7H 2 O, 0.1% MgSO 4 7H 2 O, 0.25% KH 2 PO 4, ph 4.5. On optimal conditions, 10.0 g/l of the cell mass was obtained at 30 o C for 5 days. Yellow, orange and red pigment of were produced 3.25 units, 1.59 units and 0.88 units in extracellular part, and 84.96 units, 78.84 units and 91.80 units in intracellular part, respectively.
