Combinatorial mutagenesis and fermentation optimization biotechnologies synergistically enhance monacolin K content in functional red yeast rice

IntroductionRed yeast rice (RYR) is produced through solid-state fermentation by Monascus genus. Its functional component, Monacolin K (MK), has the same structure as lovastatin and can effectively inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, thereby reducing serum cholesterol.MethodsA combinatorial mutagenesis strat...
