Researchers discovered a brand new species of fungus and identified eight previously unknown fungal species living in freshwater environments across South Korea. These freshwater fungi play important roles in breaking down plant material and producing compounds with antimicrobial properties. The study used DNA analysis and traditional microscopy to identify and describe these fungi in detail, significantly expanding our knowledge of fungal diversity in Korean freshwater habitats.

Efficient conversion of tea residue nutrients: Screening and proliferation of edible fungi

Tea leaves left over from making instant tea are usually thrown away, but researchers found that special edible mushrooms can break down these tea residues and convert them into nutritious mushroom protein. Monascus kaoliang B6 was the most effective, using powerful enzymes to decompose the tough plant fibers in tea residue and transform the nutrients into edible mushroom biomass. This discovery offers an environmentally friendly way to recycle tea industry waste into a useful food product without using harsh chemicals.
