Genetic Ablation of the Conidiogenesis Regulator Enhances Mycoprotein Production

Researchers created genetically modified versions of a fungus (Fusarium venenatum) used to make mycoprotein, a meat alternative. By removing a gene controlling spore formation, they increased fungal growth by 22%, which could significantly reduce production costs. The modified fungus also contained more amino acids and showed no safety concerns in lab tests, making it a promising advancement for sustainable food production.

Multi-Omics Analysis of Low-Temperature Fruiting Highlights the Promising Cultivation Application of the Nutrients Accumulation in Hypsizygus marmoreus

Scientists studied how beech mushrooms develop during a special low-temperature fruiting process that requires a long waiting period. They discovered that amino acids (particularly arginine) and citric acid accumulate during this process, and that adding these compounds externally can speed up mushroom production by 10 days and increase yield by 10-15%. This research could help mushroom farmers reduce costs and time in cultivation.
