Red Pigment Production By Monascus Purpureus In Stirred-Drum Bioreactor

Several studies has been conducted to economically cultivate the Monascus sp. However, the potential of using stirred drum bioreactor in solid state fermentation (SSF) for Monascus sp. cultivation has been relatively understudied. Oil palm frond (OPF) petiole has been used as a potential substrate d...
