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
{{output}}
Density dependence is a key characteristic of quorum sensing (QS) in fungi; however, no relevant reports have been found in Monascus. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of initial spore density on the morphological development and polyketid... ...
