The Transformation and Protein Expression of the Edible Mushroom Stropharia rugosoannulata Protoplasts by Agrobacterium-tumefaciens-Mediated Transformation

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed a genetic engineering technique to modify king stropharia (a cultivated edible mushroom) by inserting foreign genes into its cells. This breakthrough allows researchers to study how the mushroom grows and produces beneficial compounds. The technique uses a bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens to naturally deliver genes into mushroom cells, similar to how it infects plants. This advancement could lead to improved cultivation practices and enhanced nutritional or medicinal properties.

Unveiling roles of beneficial gut bacteria and optimal diets for health

mycolabadmin

Your gut bacteria are tiny living organisms that help digest food, support your immune system, and influence your overall health. Eating foods rich in fiber, fermented products like yogurt and kimchi, and colorful fruits and vegetables helps grow these beneficial bacteria. When your gut bacteria become unbalanced, it can lead to inflammation and various diseases, but eating the right foods can restore balance and improve your health.

Effects of dietary Fibrafid as phytogenic supplementation in standard and nutrient-reduced diets on breast meat quality, carcass traits, histopathology, and feed efficiency in heat-stressed broilers

mycolabadmin

This research tested a plant-based feed additive called Fibrafid in broiler chickens raised in hot conditions. When included at 0.25% in their diet, Fibrafid improved meat quality by increasing its ability to retain moisture and enhancing tenderness, while also supporting growth even when using lower-nutrition diets. The additive maintained healthy intestines and improved feed efficiency, offering a practical and sustainable solution for poultry farmers in hot climates.

Role of Azolla in sustainable agriculture and climate resilience: a comprehensive review

mycolabadmin

Azolla is a fast-growing water fern that can help farms become more sustainable by naturally fertilizing soil with nitrogen, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. It also helps control weeds, conserve water, and provides nutritious feed for livestock and fish. Beyond agriculture, Azolla can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and clean polluted water, making it valuable for both farming and environmental protection.

Effects of adding food ingredients rich in dietary fiber and polyphenols on the microstructure, texture, starch digestibility and functional properties of Chinese steamed bun

mycolabadmin

Researchers created an improved version of Chinese steamed bun by adding dragon fruit, kudzu root, and a medicinal mushroom called Hericium erinaceus. This new bun has much more fiber and antioxidants, and importantly, it causes much smaller increases in blood sugar after eating compared to traditional steamed buns. The study shows it can help promote beneficial gut bacteria and may be beneficial for people managing diabetes and metabolic health.

The Possibility of Using Sulphur Shelf Fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus) in the Food Industry and in Medicine—A Review

mycolabadmin

Sulphur shelf fungus, known as ‘chicken of the woods,’ is a bright yellow mushroom that grows on tree trunks and has remarkable health benefits. Research shows it contains compounds with antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer properties, making it valuable for both food and medicine. The fungus can be cultivated relatively quickly and easily, and some countries already recognize it as safe for food use, potentially opening new applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
