Introduction Food safety is a major global concern. Many people suffer from illnesses through consumption of food products contaminated by a variety of foodborne pathogens. Bacteria, viruses, and protozoa are mostly responsible for the high mortality and morbidity rates associated with foodborne illnesses (Li and Zhu, 2017).

INTRODUCTIONFungi are capable of producing a vast array of secondary metabolites, i.e., products of metabolism that are not essential for survival but that facilitate adaptation to specific environmental niches (reviewed in reference 1). Many secondary metabolites are modified by cytochrome P450s (CYPs), enzymes which belong to the superfamily of hemeproteins that commonly catalyze monooxygenase reactions.
