Abstract excerpt
A UV-induced albino strain of Monascus purpureus was subjected to electroporation in the presence of genomic DNA from a wild-type red strain of the fungus. Eight colonies expressed color after several weeks of growth. The growth rates of all eight color variants were significantly greater than the recipient and donor strains under some culture conditions. Spectrophotometric analysis of the pigments extracted from...
