Biphasic Fermentation of Trapa bispinosa Shells by Ganoderma sinense and Characterization of Its Polysaccharides and Alcoholic Extract and Analysis of Their Bioactivity

mycolabadmin

This study investigated fermenting water chestnut shells with a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma sinense to create a more potent health product. Under optimal fermentation conditions, the resulting material showed significantly improved immune-boosting and antioxidant properties when tested in laboratory cells. The fermentation process changed the structure of polysaccharides and increased beneficial compounds, potentially transforming agricultural waste into a valuable functional food or supplement.

Development of Biphasic Culture System for an Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana PfBb Strain and Its Virulence on a Defoliating Moth Phauda flammans (Walker)

Researchers developed an efficient two-stage fermentation process to mass-produce Beauveria bassiana PfBb, a fungus that kills defoliating moths damaging Ficus trees. The first stage grows the fungus in liquid to produce active spores, which are then transferred to solid substrates to produce hardy, long-lasting conidia. The optimized process produces high quantities of effective fungal spores that can be stored at refrigerator temperature for over a year while maintaining their pest-killing ability.
