Disruption of the Chitin Biosynthetic Pathway Results in Significant Changes in the Cell Growth Phenotypes and Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolites of <i>Monascus purpureus</i>

Disruption of the Chitin Biosynthetic Pathway Results in Significant Changes in the Cell Growth Phenotypes and Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolites of <i>Monascus purpureus</i>

In this study, the gene <i>monascus</i>-5162 from <i>Monascus purpureus</i> LQ-6, identified as chitin synthase gene VI (<i>chs</i>6), was knocked out to disrupt the chitin biosynthetic pathway and regulate the biosynthesis of <i>Monascus</i> pigments...
