The Application of Fungi and Their Secondary Metabolites in Aquaculture

mycolabadmin

Fungi can help solve several problems in fish farming. They can make plant-based fish feed more nutritious and easier to digest, boost fish immune systems and disease resistance without antibiotics, help fish feed float better in water, and clean up polluted water from fish farms. This makes aquaculture more sustainable and environmentally friendly while reducing costs for farmers.

Optimising Chlorella vulgaris bioflocculation by Aspergillus Niger pellets and their application in wastewater treatment and lipid production

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates an innovative approach to cleaning wastewater using a combination of algae and fungal pellets. The scientists optimized conditions for growing Aspergillus niger fungi as compact pellets that can efficiently trap and harvest microscopic algae cells. When these fungal-algae pellets were used to treat wastewater, they removed over 90% of harmful nutrients like ammonium and phosphate, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional water treatment methods.
