Article Synopsis
  • Truffles are unique fungi that form symbiotic relationships with tree roots and are valued for their distinct aromas and flavors; however, culturing them in lab settings is challenging due to slow growth rates and difficulties in maintaining pure cultures.
  • Researchers isolated a new strain (SP1) and analyzed its growth under various in vitro conditions, finding that maltose-enriched, soft-agar static cultures at 22 °C produced the best results.
  • The study revealed a transcription pattern where 80% of gene expression came from only 20% of the genes, indicating that truffles rely more on fermentative metabolism, even in oxygen-rich environments, and showed a significant focus on genes that produce volatile aromatic compounds while expressing fewer secondary metabolite genes.
