Isolation And Identification Of The Fungus Monascus Purpureus From Imported Currants As a New Record In Iraq

This study was conducted in the Laboratory of Fungus Department Biology / College Science University Qadisiyah to isolate and diagnose some insulation from fungi isolated imported dried fruits (raisins) province, Iraq. The isolations were diagnosed both morphologically microscopically using classification keys confirm appearance microscopic diagnosis polymerase chain reaction(PCR), And determine sequence nitrogen bases (Nucleotide sequence(of compound DNA products ITS1 ITS4. results nucleotide analysis (PCR product) compounding innate isolation BLAST compare with data available at U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) have shown that this belongs type Monascus purpureus. By comparing M. purpureus fungus study, it found there a 100% similarity many isolates previously registered (NCBI), including those China (MT361825, MK359689, MW581230) Japan (AB477248).
