A coculture system of Epicoccum nigrum with Mucor racemosus induces red pigment biosynthesis in vinegar mash
Fungal pigments hold significant food industrial value due to their safe and sustainable properties. Here we identified a naturally occurring coculture pair Epicoccum nigrum SPDX618 and Mucor racemosus SPDX522 in vinegar mash that produced red pigments, which was not observed in either monoculture. Our result...
