The spectrum of enzymes required for complete lignocellulosic waste hydrolysis is too diverse to be secreted by a single organism. An alternative is to employ fungal co-cultures to obtain more diverse and complete enzymatic cocktails without the need to mix enzymes during downstream processing. This study evaluated the co-cultivation of and RUT-C30 in different conditions using sugarcane bagasse as the carbon source.

Cotton is an important plant-based protein. Cottonseed cake, a byproduct of the biodiesel industry, offers potential in animal supplementation, although the presence of the antinutritional sesquiterpenoid gossypol limits utilization. The macrofungus offers potential in detoxification of antinutritional factors.

Jatropha curcas is an oilseed crop with biorefinery applications. Whilst cake generated following oil extraction offers potential as a protein source for animal feed, inactivation of toxic phorbol esters present in the material is necessary. Pleurotus pulmonarius is a detoxifying agent for jatropha cake with additional potential as animal feed, edible mushroom and for enzyme production.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a study utilizing Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing, researchers identified 202 conserved miRNAs and 24 novel miRNAs in the resistant Calcutta 4 banana variety, many of which are linked to immune responses in plants.
  • * The analysis showed a negative correlation in the expression of selected miRNAs and their target genes involved in defense mechanisms, providing insights for potential genetic engineering strategies to combat the Sigatoka disease in bananas.
