Whole-Genome Sequencing and Comparative Genomics Analysis of the Wild Edible Mushroom (Gomphus purpuraceus) Provide Insights into Its Potential Food Application and Artificial Domestication

Scientists sequenced the complete genetic code of Gomphus purpuraceus, a wild mushroom eaten in southwest China for hundreds of years. By comparing its genes to other edible mushrooms, researchers discovered it likely forms beneficial partnerships with trees and can break down some plant material. The study shows this mushroom can efficiently use simple sugars like sucrose and maltose for growth, which could help farmers grow it commercially while preserving this rare species.

Modern Pro-Health Applications of Medicinal Mushrooms: Insights into the Polyporaceae Family, with a Focus on Cerrena unicolor

This research explores how medicinal mushrooms, especially a species called Cerrena unicolor, could be used to improve human health through functional foods and dietary supplements. These mushrooms contain natural compounds that fight cancer, bacteria, viruses, and free radicals that damage our cells. Scientists have found that incorporating these mushroom extracts into foods, particularly dairy products, could create powerful health-promoting foods that help with cancer treatment, diabetes management, and wound healing.

Enhanced biodegradation of fluorinated pharmaceutical by Aspergillus flavus and Cunninghamella elegans biofilms: kinetics and mechanisms

Researchers discovered that two types of fungi, Aspergillus flavus and Cunninghamella elegans, can effectively break down common prescription drugs like fluoxetine, ciprofloxacin, and atorvastatin in wastewater. When grown as biofilms on foam carriers, these fungi removed over 90% of the pharmaceuticals in just a few days. This is an important finding because conventional wastewater treatment doesn’t effectively remove these medications, which can harm aquatic ecosystems.
