In this study, a novel flat-plate ultrasound technology was developed to stimulate polysaccharides production from Phellinus igniarius mycelial fermentation. Three-factor-three-level Box-Behnken design was used to optimize ultrasonic treatment time, duty cycle time and culture time for a high yield of P. igniarius polysaccharides (PIPS). Optimal conditions were found to be ultrasound treatment time 65 min, duty cycle time 25s, and culture time 3.8d that gave a maximum PIPS yield of 1.8002 g/L, which increased ∼ 22.64% compared with the control (without any ultrasound). PIPS mainly contained low-molecular weight (MW) polysaccharides (3.1 kDa, 80%) composed of glucose, rhamnose and mannose in a molar ratio of 11.0:14.0:1.0. PIPS with higher carbohydrate and uronic acid contents exhibited strong antioxidant activities in vitro. Laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) observations suggested that ultrasound could change the morphology and structure of P. igniarius mycelium, and accelerate the transfer of nutrients and metabolites.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-assisted genome editing has been applied to several major edible agaricomycetes, enabling efficient gene targeting. This method is promising for rapid and efficient breeding to isolate high-value cultivars and overcome cultivation challenges. However, the integration of foreign DNA fragments during this process raises concerns regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their regulatory restrictions.

Lipases are triacylglycerol hydrolases with various potential applications because of their different physical properties. Most lipase producers are extracellular in nature and are created using solid-state fermentation and submerged fermentation methods. The fungal, mycelial, and yeast lipases are produced using various solid substrates through the solid-state fermentation method.

This study was to assess the digestion and colonic fermentation of two bioactive polysaccharides, EPS-LM and LBPS, and the subsequent influences on human gut microbiota through simulated gastrointestinal systems. EPS-LM, an exopolysaccharide isolated from mycelial culture of a medicinal fungus Cordyceps sinensis Cs-HK1, was characterized as a heteropolysaccharide consisting of Man(108):Gal(52.7):Glc(29.

Filamentous fungi are important producers of enzymes and secondary metabolites. The industrial thermophilic species, is closely related to the model fungus, . A critical aspect of the filamentous fungal life cycle is the production of asexual spores (conidia), which are regulated by various stimuli, including nutrient availability.
