A Model-Driven Approach to Assessing the Fouling Mechanism in the Crossflow Filtration of Laccase Extract from Pleurotus ostreatus 202

Scientists developed a method to purify laccase enzymes from oyster mushrooms using membrane filtration technology. They compared mathematical models to predict how membranes get clogged during filtration and found that using crossflow (tangential) filtration significantly reduces harmful clogging. Understanding these clogging patterns helps improve enzyme purification for use in industrial applications like textile processing and bioremediation.

Engineering Strategies for Fungal Cell Disruption in Biotechnological Applications

Fungal cells have tough, protective walls that make it difficult to extract valuable products like proteins, oils, and medicines. This review examines different techniques—from physical methods like grinding with beads to chemical and enzyme-based approaches—to break open fungal cells efficiently. By understanding which method works best for different types of fungi and desired products, researchers can develop better, more sustainable ways to use fungi in manufacturing pharmaceuticals, food products, and other valuable compounds.

Engineering Strategies for Fungal Cell Disruption in Biotechnological Applications

Fungi produce valuable products inside their cells like medicines, oils, and natural colors. However, fungal cell walls are very tough and hard to break open compared to bacteria or algae. Scientists have developed various methods to break open fungal cells, ranging from physical approaches like grinding with beads or using sound waves, to gentler chemical and enzymatic methods. The best method depends on the type of fungus, what product you want to extract, and how much you need to make.

Advances in submerged liquid fermentation and formulation of entomopathogenic fungi

This paper reviews how scientists are improving the production of natural fungal pesticides that kill insect pests. Instead of growing fungi on grains in bags, researchers are using large fermentation tanks similar to those used in food and beverage production. These tanks can produce beneficial fungal cells more quickly and efficiently, with better quality control and safety. The paper discusses different types of fungal cells produced, how to make them stable for storage and field use, and how this technology could replace older production methods worldwide.
