Compatible traits of oleaginous Mucoromycota fungi for lignocellulose-based simultaneous saccharification and fermentation

Scientists tested different types of fungi to see which ones are best at producing oils that can be turned into biofuel while breaking down plant material. They found that Lichtheimia corymbifera can survive at high temperatures and produce useful enzymes, making it the best candidate. The study helps identify which fungi should be used in industrial processes to make sustainable biofuels from agricultural waste.

Transcription factor FfMYB15 regulates the expression of cellulase gene FfCEL6B during mycelial growth of Flammulina filiformis

This study explores how mushrooms break down cellulose to grow. Researchers found that a protein called FfMYB15 acts as a master switch that turns on the gene for an enzyme (cellulase) needed to digest cellulose in the Flammulina filiformis mushroom. By controlling this enzyme, FfMYB15 helps the mushroom grow faster and more efficiently on cellulose-rich materials used in cultivation.
