A Dual-Plasmid CRISPR/Cas System for Mycotoxin Elimination in Polykaryotic Industrial Fungi
12 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Mycotoxin contamination causes disease and death in both humans and animals. Monascus Red, produced by Monascus purpureus, is used as a food colorant. However, its application is limited by contamination of the nephrotoxin citrinin, which is also produced by the fungus. Suppressing citrinin production by genetic engineering is difficult in a polykaryotic fungus such as M. purpureus. Hence, we developed a...
