Shiraia bambusicola strain GDMCC 60438, originally isolated from eastern China, was applied for production of polysaccharides through submerged fermentation with glucose and potato extracts. Compared with a polysaccharide content of 3.94 ± 0.92% in natural Sh. bambusicola stroma, 9.12 ± 0.36 g intracellular polysaccharides (SIP) could be produced in 100 g freeze-dried Sh. bambusicola mycelium after an optimized fermentation. The SIP showed an 88.65 ± 2.26% hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (HRSA) at the concentration of 4 mg/mL. It was higher than the 31.48 ± 3.12% HRSA of Sh. bambusicola stroma polysaccharide (SSP). In the meantime, a 5 mg/mL SIP showed an equivalent 2,2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic) acid radical (ABTS+) scavenging activity to ascorbic acid at 0.025 mg/mL. Gel chromatography analysis showed that the SIP had distinct polysaccharide fractions compared with the SSP. Submerged fermentation showed a promising prospect on high production of Sh. bambusicola polysaccharides with improved antioxidant activities.

Biological control, which utilizes nematophagous fungi to reduce gastrointestinal nematode populations, may effectively diminish the need for chemical anthelmintic treatments. However, the limited knowledge surrounding the mass production of chlamydospores hinders the widespread use of biological products as alternatives to traditional anthelmintics. This study aimed to evaluate the development of liquid culture media for the large-scale production of the nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagrans using a systematic procedure, progressing from microplates to bioreactor.

Polysaccharides from Ganoderma lucidum (GLPs) exhibit unique bioactivity, but traditional cultivation yields low quantities and unstable quality, limiting their research and application. This study highlights how submerged fermentation processes enable the directed acquisition of structurally defined high molecular weight (MW) bioactive intracellular polysaccharides (IPS). The results showed that inoculation amount and fermentation scales had a significant effect on the content of high MW IPS.

Fruits are excellent sources of substrate for various fermented products, including fruit vinegars, which are typically produced by submerged fermentation. Some evidence suggests that fruit vinegar consumption can alleviate certain disorders, including hyperlipidemia, inflammation, and hyperglycemia. Fruit vinegars also have bacteriostatic and antihypertensive actions.

Lactate dehydrogenase plays a key role in alleviating hypoxia during prolonged submergence. To explore the function of the OsLdh7 gene in enhancing submergence tolerance, we overexpressed this gene in rice (Oryza sativa cv. IR64) and subjected the transgenic lines to complete inundation.

This study aimed to enhance inulinase production from agricultural biomass pretreated with deep eutectic solvents (DES) using Aspergillus niger A42 (ATCC 204447). Barley husk (BH), wheat bran (WB), and oat husk (OH) were selected as substrates and were pretreated using different molar ratios of choline chloride: glycerol (ChCl: Gly) and choline chloride: acetic acid (ChCl: AA). DES pretreatment was followed by dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis.
