Valorisation of Fermentation Side-Stream for Waste-to-Mycoprotein: Nutrient Composition, Metabolic Insights and Process Optimisation

27 September 2026 · Biofuel production and bioconversion · Microbial Metabolic Engineering and Bioproduction · Fungal Biology and Applications

Researchers assessed whether centrate left from industrial Fusarium venenatum fermentation could supply nutrients for producing additional fungal biomass. After analysing its composition, they created a synthetic equivalent and tested nutrient combinations in 46 runs using Box-Behnken experimental design and response-surface modelling. Biomass yields varied from 0.22 to 3.87 g/L, with glucose and ammonia exerting the largest, nonlinear effects. Optimisation predicted 4.17 g/L and produced 3.99 g/L experimentally. Carbon conversion reached 29.02%, supporting centrate’s use for nutrient recovery and mycoprotein production.

Yeast-based valorization of challenging side streams for food applications: precision vs. biomass fermentation

3 August 2026 · Microbial Metabolic Engineering and Bioproduction · Biofuel production and bioconversion · Agriculture Sustainability and Environmental Impact

Yeast fermentation was assessed as a way to turn agricultural and food residues and industrial by-products into proteins, oils and other food ingredients. The article compares biomass and precision fermentation across conventional and non-conventional yeasts, considering strain robustness, metabolic range and circular production potential. It also reviews synthetic biology, strain engineering, product recovery and food regulation. The authors identify scale-up, infrastructure, inconsistent regulation and consumer acceptance as barriers to commercial use, while noting potential to reduce food production’s dependence on farmland.
