Effect of dissolved oxygen concentration on red pigment and citrinin production by Monascus purpureus ATCC 36928

The present study investigated the effects of agitation speed, N (200, 500, 600 or 700 rpm), and dissolved oxygen concentration, C (120, >70, 70, 60, 10 or < 10%), on red pigment and citrinin production by Monascus purpureus ATCC 36928, cultivated in liquid medium by a batch process. The gas f...
