This research examined how treating a medicinal fungus (Phellinus pini) with a stress-inducing compound called menadione could stimulate the production of valuable enzymes. The study found that this treatment effectively increased the production of several industrially important enzymes that could be useful in various applications. Impacts on everyday life: – Could lead to more efficient production of enzymes used in industrial processes and manufacturing – May help develop new methods for producing compounds used in medicine and pharmaceuticals – Provides insights into how fungi can be used to create environmentally friendly industrial processes – Could contribute to development of new biotechnology applications – Helps understand how to better utilize fungi for human benefit
