Abstract：To obtain Monascus strain which had high efficient degradation for starch ,386 Monascus strains were separated and purified from the natural fermentation of red yeast rice all over the country . Strain Mp‐42 which had high yield of amylase was obtained through screening .According to the morpholo‐gies ,physiological and biochemical characteristics and ITS gene sequences ,strain Mp‐42 was identified as Monascus purpureus .Strain Mp‐42 has many good qualities ,such as high yield amylase ,fast growth ,high amount of spores .Strain Mp‐42 of amylase enzyme activity is up to 168 U/mL -178 U/mL under the con‐dition of the initial fermentation pH 6 .0 ,temperature of 30 ℃ .
