Title: Screening of red pigment producing stains from red yeast rice powder.
Abstract: Three red pigment producing strains(M1,M2and M3)were isolated and purified from red yeast rice powder by the pour palate method,steak plate method on different media and a shake flask fermentation test.The fermentation test showed that M1 strain cultured in fermentation liquor of soybean sprouts and M3 strain cultured in potato fermentation liquid were of strong potential to produce red pigment.The morphological identification results showed that M1 and M3 strains with a certain toleranceed to acid and ethanol belong to monascus purpureus.
