Edible Protein Production by Filamentous Fungi using Starch Plant Wastewater

Waste and Biomass Valorization, 2018
The process to obtain starch from wheat requires high amounts of water, consequently generating large amounts of wastewater with very high environmental loading. This wastewater is traditionally sent to treatment facilities. This paper introduces an alternative method, where the wastewater of a wheat-starch plant is treated by edible filamentous fungi (

Identification and Transcriptional Profiling of SNARE Family in Monascus ruber M7 Reveal Likely Roles in Secondary Metabolism

Fermentation, 2022
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are the core components that mediate vesicle fusion, and they play an important role in secondary metabolism of filamentous fungi.

Starch and protein recovery from brewer’s spent grain using hydrothermal pretreatment and their conversion to edible filamentous fungi – A brewery biorefinery concept

Bioresource Technology, 2021
This study aimed at recovering a highly concentrated starch and protein stream from the brewer's spent grain (BSG). The effect of pretreatment temperature and retention time on the solubilization of starch and protein; and the generation of fermentation inhibitors were studied.

At the nexus of three kingdoms: the genome of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita provides insights into plant, endobacterial and fungal interactions. [PDF]

, 2020
As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina) symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some uncultivable endobacteria.

Functional Properties of the MAP Kinase UeKpp2 in Ustilago esculenta

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Ustilago esculenta undergoes an endophytic life cycle in Zizania latifolia. It induces the stem of its host to swell, forming the edible galls called jiaobai in China, which are the second most commonly cultivated aquatic vegetable in China. Z. latifolia

Partial Purification and Kinetic Properties of Polygalacturonase from Solanum macrocarpum L. Fruit [PDF]

, 2016
Background and Objective: Polygalacturonase [Poly (1, 4-"-D-galacturonide) glucanohydrolase, E.C 3.2.1.15] is a subclass of pectinase that hydrolyzes the glycosidic linkages between galacturonic acid residues in polygalacturonans.
