1. 1. Edible fungal biomass production using banana peel

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Jennifer Fredes Skogh; Carolina Johansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Animal feed; filamentous fungi; bio-circular economic; mycoprotein; pretreatment;

   Abstract : Banana peels account for about 61 million tons of waste each year globally. The aim of this project was to investigate the possibility of using banana peels as a substrate to cultivate edible filamentous fungi. READ MORE

3. 2. Production of filamentous fungal biomass on waste-derived volatile fatty acids for ruminant feed supplementation and it's in vitro digestion analysis

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Mohammadali Bouzarjomehr; [2022]
   Keywords : VFAs volatile-fatty-acids ; Fungi production; Feed production.; Fermentation processes; Aspergillus oryzae; A. oryzae fungal biomass; Sustainability; Rumen fluids; Evaluation of the digestibility of the produced fungal biomass; TT method analysis; Gas production method; Nylon bag method analysis;

   Abstract : Single cell proteins such as that of edible filamentous fungal biomass are considered as a promising sustainable source of animal feed supplementation. Filamentous fungi can be cultivated on different organic substrates including volatile fatty acids (VFAs) such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids. READ MORE

4. 3. Bio-enhanced silicate weathering : Coupled to sequestration of CO2

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi

   Author : Marcus Westholm; [2022]
   Keywords : NETs; Bio-enhanced weathering; Carbon capture;

   Abstract : Weathering of silicate minerals has long been a known source of natural CO2 sequestration, that could be increased in the presence of microorganisms. Bio-enhanced weathering of silicate minerals could increase the sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere. READ MORE

5. 4. Exploration of ways to utilize wheat chaff through fungal substrate conversion : a base for animal feed or substrate for cultivation of edible mushrooms

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Caroline Sandberg; [2022]
   Keywords : harvest residues; chaff; oyster mushroom; agro-waste reduction; mushroom production;

   Abstract : The shift towards a more sustainable food system emphasises a need for increased circularity and valorisation of available resources. Chaff constitutes one of three main fractions obtained upon harvest of certain crops, during which it is generally discarded on the field. READ MORE

6. 5. Purification, activity assays and crystallization of GtCel45A - a small cellulase enzyme from the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum expressed in Aspergillus nidulans

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

   Author : Louise Fitkin; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on earth. It is one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass, which has great potential as a renewable energy source. To utilize the biomass, for instance in biofuel production, cellulose needs to be degraded. READ MORE
