GlSlt2 positively regulates GlMyb-mediated cellulose utilization in Ganoderma lucidum

Scientists discovered how a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum breaks down cellulose from plant waste. The study found that a protein called GlSlt2 activates another protein called GlMyb, which then turns on genes that produce cellulase enzymes. These enzymes break down cellulose into sugar that the fungus can use for growth. This discovery could help improve the conversion of agricultural waste into biofuels and other useful products.

Purification and biochemical characterization of a novel thermostable protease from the oyster mushroom Pleurotus sajor-caju strain CTM10057 with industrial interest

Scientists discovered a special protein-cutting enzyme from oyster mushrooms that works exceptionally well at high temperatures and in harsh cleaning conditions. This enzyme, called SPPS, cuts through protein stains similar to how detergent enzymes work in laundry. The enzyme is more stable and efficient than commonly used commercial enzymes and can withstand organic solvents. This discovery makes it a promising candidate for improving detergent formulations and other industrial applications.
