Production of Monacolin K in <i>Monascus Pilosus</i>: Comparison between Industrial Strains and Analysis of Its Gene Clusters
<i>Monascus pilosus</i> strains are widely applied to yield a cholesterol synthesis inhibitor monacolin K (MK), also called lovastatin (LOV). However, the mechanism of MK production by <i>M. pilosus</i> strains is still unclear. In this study, we firstly confirmed four <i&...
