Medium design from corncob hydrolyzate for pigment production by Talaromyces atroroseus GH2: Kinetics modeling and pigments characterization
The genusTalaromyceshas gained attention due to its ability to produce pigments with potential industrialapplications in different areas. Prosperous application of fungal pigments has challenges to overcome, like de-veloping a cost-effective bioprocess. Using agroindustrial wastes could provide inexpensive substrates and itcontributes to maximize sustainability. Therefore, this study evaluated the feasibility of using corncob as a low-cost substrate for pigment production byTalaromyces atroroseusGH2. An acid hydrolysis treatment was used torelease sugars from corncob.
