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

mycolabadmin

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.

Mycoremediation of anthraquinone dyes from textile industries: a mini-review

mycolabadmin

Textile factories create large amounts of harmful wastewater containing dyes that damage water ecosystems. Scientists have discovered that certain mushroom fungi can naturally break down these toxic dyes using special enzymes. By growing these fungi on support materials, the treatment becomes even more effective and can be reused multiple times, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for cleaning contaminated water.

Biotransformation of the Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic, Levofloxacin, by the Free and Immobilized Secretome of Coriolopsis gallica

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered that a type of fungus called Coriolopsis gallica can break down the antibiotic levofloxacin, which persists in the environment and contributes to antibiotic resistance. They tested both free enzymes from the fungus and enzymes trapped in alginate beads to see which worked better. The study found that free enzymes degraded more of the antibiotic when a chemical helper molecule called HBT was added, while immobilized enzymes were more stable and could be reused multiple times.

Optimization of the Decolorization of the Reactive Black 5 by a Laccase-like Active Cell-Free Supernatant from Coriolopsis gallica

mycolabadmin

Textile factories produce large amounts of colored wastewater containing harmful dyes like Reactive Black 5. Researchers optimized an enzyme-based treatment using laccase from a fungus called Coriolopsis gallica to remove these dyes from water. By carefully balancing enzyme concentration, pH, temperature, and a chemical booster called HBT, they achieved 82% dye removal in just 2 hours, offering a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical treatments.

Innovative chitin-glucan based material obtained from mycelium of wood decay fungal strains

mycolabadmin

Researchers have developed a new sustainable leather-like material from fungal mycelium that could replace traditional animal leather and synthetic alternatives. By growing specific wood decay fungi in controlled fermentation systems and extracting their chitin and glucan content, they created flexible sheets with mechanical properties similar to real leather. The materials are biodegradable, require no animal farming, and avoid toxic tanning processes, making them a promising eco-friendly solution for fashion and furniture industries.

Elucidation of Higher Basidiomycetes Enzyme Activity Based on Mushroom Inoculum Properties

mycolabadmin

This research investigated how different properties of mushroom cultures affect their ability to produce important industrial enzymes. Scientists found that factors like the age and form of the mushroom culture significantly impact enzyme production, with different mushroom species responding differently to various growing conditions. This knowledge is valuable for optimizing enzyme production for industrial applications. Impacts on everyday life: • More efficient production of enzymes used in eco-friendly paper manufacturing • Better methods for producing enzymes used in biofuel production • Improved techniques for manufacturing textile processing enzymes • More sustainable production of enzymes used in food processing • Enhanced understanding of how to cultivate medicinal mushrooms efficiently
