Stressostat cultivation of Lactococcus lactis improves lactate stress resistance through mutations in RNA polymerase

The paper isolates lactate-resistant Lactococcus lactis variants using stressostat cultivation and identifies RNA polymerase mutations as key drivers of resistance through proteome changes.

Mycelium of mushroom-producing fungi as high-quality protein source

This study evaluates the nutritional and sensory qualities of mycelium from mushroom-producing fungi compared to their fruiting bodies and tempeh fungus, finding high protein quality and umami potential.

The potential of mycelium from mushroom-producing fungi in alternative protein production: a focus on fungal growth, metabolism, and nutrition

This study evaluates basidiomycete fungi for alternative protein production using solid-state fermentation, showing they can increase protein content and reduce phytic acid compared to Rhizopus.

Solid-state fermentation with mushroom mycelium elevates plant protein quality and umami taste

This paper evaluates solid-state fermentation with basidiomycetes to enhance plant protein quality and umami taste in brown rice, brewers spent grain, and lupin, finding improved nutritional and sensory outcomes compared to conventional tempeh fungus.

Modulation of gut microbiota through in vitro exposure to a traditional fermented food in the context of pathogen invasion

This study shows that Mabisi, a traditional fermented food, suppresses pathogen invasion in gut microbiota by modulating microbial composition and increasing short-chain fatty acid production.
