Summary: This study investigated the production of natural pigments by five filamentous fungi isolated from soil and cultured on a mixture of green waste and whey. Optimal conditions for pigment production were found to be at pH 7.0 and 9.0, with higher biomass and pigment intensities observed in solid-state fermentation compared to submerged fermentation. The study suggests that solid-state fermentation may be a feasible strategy for scaling up pigment production in manufacturing industries.

Summary: Metabolites produced by filamentous fungi are widely used in the food and drug industries. The morphological engineering of filamentous fungi has led to the application of various biotechnologies to enhance the production of target metabolites during submerged fermentation. Disrupting chitin biosynthesis can modify cell growth and mycelial morphology, and regulate metabolite biosynthesis. This review provides a comprehensive coverage of chitin biosynthesis in filamentous fungi and its relationship with cell growth and metabolism, aiming to increase awareness and provide insights into the application of morphological engineering to enhance metabolite production during submerged fermentation.

Summary: The study demonstrated the production of unsaturated single cell oil (SCO) from animal waste fats using oleaginous fungi Mucor circinelloides and Mortierella alpina. Both strains showed good growth and lipid accumulation when utilizing animal fats as the sole carbon source. The highest biomass concentration and lipid content were achieved through shake flask experiments for Mucor circinelloides and fed-batch fermentation for Mortierella alpina, with the latter also producing arachidonic acid. Additionally, both fungal strains produced gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) with varying yields in fed-batch fermentation.

Summary: Low-cost agricultural waste was successfully used as a substrate for mass production of the low-cost biopesticide B. bassiana conidia using a cylindrical packed-column aerobic bioreactor. This method showed higher productivity and shorter fermentation time compared with the conventional tray bioreactor. Optimal conditions for substrate moisture content, palm fiber and palm kernel cake ratio, temperature, and air flow were identified for achieving maximum spore production.

Summary: The study utilized RBFNN models to predict the removal of COD in polluted water streams, with the PSO-trained model proving more accurate and efficient compared to the traditional model. Improving the removal ratio of COD to enhance drain water quality can help in reducing groundwater contamination and safeguard water resources in water-scarce countries like Egypt.

Summary: The study confirmed the suitability of biocalorimetry for monitoring fungal conversion of lignocellulosic agricultural by-products during solid-state fermentation by linking non-invasive measurement of metabolic heat fluxes with conventional invasive determination of fungal activity parameters. Different fungal species may exhibit different life history strategies during growth, as indicated by species-specific YQ/X values. These values can not only quantify fungal biomass during single-species SSF processes, but also aid in fungal ecology research by indicating different fungal life history strategies.

Summary: Seed sprouts are nutrient-rich and can be fermented with fungi to enhance nutritional value and reduce antinutritional factors. Different fungal strains have varied effects on proteins and fibers in sprouts, with sprouting prior to fermentation improving protein solubility and fermentation duration.

Summary: PHAs are bio-polyesters synthesized by different aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Among them, Bacillus cereus FM5, a facultative anaerobic PHAs producer, was found to have higher cell biomass production in mineral salt medium containing glucose and peptone. Under optimized conditions, FM5 produced 0.89 and 1.5 g l(-1) of PHAs through submerged and solid-state fermentation in anoxic condition. This study contributes to the further research of biopolymers.
