Post-treatment of Fungal Biomass to Enhance Pigment Production [PDF]
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2019 A new post-treatment method of fungal biomass after fermentation is revealed. The post-treatment strategy was utilized to produce pigments as an additional valuable metabolite. Post-treatment included incubation at 95% relative humidity where the effects of harvesting time, light, and temperature were studied.
