Integrated physiology, transcriptomics and targeted metabolomics reveal a potential quorum sensing network involved in the initial spore density-dependent regulation of morphogenesis and polyketide biosynthesis in Monascus.
Investigating the effects of initial spore density on the morphological development and polyketide secondary metabolism of Monascus purpureus to elucidate the regulatory role of quorum sensing suggested that linoleic acid and its derivatives may function as putative quorum sensing molecules (QSMs).
