Location:
Wheat Genetics, Quality Physiology and Disease Research
Project Number: 5348-21430-003-02
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Jan 01, 2003
End Date: Feb 28, 2005
Objective:
Engineer Monascus purpureus to produce B-carotene.
Approach:
Monascus purpureus, a fungus used in production of red rice, will be genetically transformed with DNA from a fungus that naturally produces beta-carotene. The goal is to obtain strains of M. purpureus that have acquired the ability to produce beta-carotene. Documents Reimbursable with FAS. Log 21021. BSL-1; 12/16/02.Formerly 5348-21430-002-02R (9/03).
