Red Pigment Overproduction by Fed-Batch Culture of Monascus anka
Monascus anka로부터 유기배양에 의한 적색소의 대량생산
Abstract
The production of red pigment from glucose by fed-batch culture of Monascus anka was investigated. In batch culture using fermentor, 200 rpm of agitation speed, 1vvm of aeration volume, and 10% (v/v) of inoculum size were optimal, respectively. The red pigment production was increased by removal of wall-attached mycelium. In an intermittent feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 30 g/l, adn the red pigment content reached 350 of absorbance at 495nm. In a continuous feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 22g/l, and the red pigment content reached 190 of absorbance at 495nm.
