Genus Monascus(M. pilosus and M purpureus)의 배지(Lin, SP, YM YE, GMIN, SMO, MY, GY, Nishikawa, sucrose, stock culture, Mizutani, modified Lit Toya 및 쌀배지)에 따른 균의 증식도와 색소생성량을 조사하였다. M. pilosus 및 M purpureus의 증식도가 높은 배지는 Mizutani 배지와 Lin 배지 였으며 3에서 10일간 배양
Growth and pigment formation in Genus Monascus(M. pilosus and M purpureus) related 15 kinds of culture media(Lin medium, SP medium, YM medium, YE medium, GMIN medium, SMO medium, MY medium, GY medium, Nishikawa medium, sucrose medium, stock culture, Mizutani medium, modified Lin medium, Toya medium and rice medium) were investigated. Mizutani medium and Lin medium among 15 kinds of the culture media showed good growth for M. pilosus, M purpureus, fresh mycelium weight cultivated for 10 days at 30 was each 24.5∼26.9 or 15.9∼17.2 g/100 mL. The culture media which showed higher content of pigment production in two fungi were Lin medium(OD: 1.2 ∼ 1.6 and Mizutani medium(OD: 0.8 ∼ 1.0) that showed higher in M. pilosus.
