The Silent Revolution of Brewer’s Spent Grain: Meat/Food Innovations Through Circularity, Resource Recovery, and Nutritional Synergy—A Review

Brewer’s spent grain is a leftover from beer production that can be transformed into nutritious ingredient for meat products and other foods. When added to burgers and sausages, it increases protein and fiber content while reducing fat, making healthier versions of these foods without sacrificing taste. This approach helps reduce food waste from breweries while providing consumers with more nutritious meat products in a sustainable way.

The Nearly Complete Genome of Grifola frondosa and Light-Induced Genes Screened Based on Transcriptomics Promote the Production of Triterpenoid Compounds

Researchers sequenced the complete genetic code of maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa) and discovered how light exposure influences the production of beneficial compounds called triterpenoids. The high-quality genome assembly revealed 12,526 genes and showed that light triggers specific genes involved in making these medicinal compounds. This breakthrough provides a scientific foundation for growing maitake mushrooms with optimized levels of health-promoting substances.

The Transformation and Protein Expression of the Edible Mushroom Stropharia rugosoannulata Protoplasts by Agrobacterium-tumefaciens-Mediated Transformation

Researchers successfully developed a method to genetically modify the edible mushroom Stropharia rugosoannulata using Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteria. This technique allows scientists to insert and express foreign genes in the mushroom, providing tools to study how specific genes control mushroom growth and the production of health-promoting compounds. The study demonstrates that both artificial and natural resistance markers can be used to identify successfully transformed mushrooms, offering a foundation for improving mushroom cultivation and breeding.
