The present invention relates to a new strain and its molecular marker primers and molecular marker method, in particular to a new strain of Flammulina fennae and its molecular marker primers and molecular marker method. The new strain was Flammulina fennae HMGIM-A151357. The deposit number was CCTCC NO: M 2019478. Compared with Flammulina velutipes on market, the Flammulina fennae of the present invention has a richer calcium content, a higher tolerant temperature, which was conducive to energy saving, and the mushroom cover was not easy to open the umbrella. The commercial properties were excellent, with the low content of cellulose. It was not easy to stuff teeth when eating, and the taste was better.

Microbial starter cultures. More specifically, a method for preparing a microbial culture such as a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter culture wherein at least one microbial strain such as a lactic acid bacteria and at least one inactivated yeast strain is inoculated in a culture medium.

A fusion protein, an amino acid sequence thereof, a coding nucleotide sequence thereof, a preparation method thereof and a use thereof are in the technical field of agricultural biotechnology. The fusion protein contains or consists of at least three, four, five, six, seven, or eight same and/or different PAMP (Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern) polypeptides. Optionally, there is at least one linker or no linker between two adjacent PAMP polypeptides. A plurality of PAMP polypeptides are assembled into the fusion protein having multiple immune epitopes. The fusion protein may induce defense immune responses of plants, weaken infestation ability of pathogenic microorganisms and substantially improve the disease resistance of plants. The method for preparing the fusion protein combines technologies of PTI (PAMP-Triggered Immunity) mechanism and gene engineering to obtain the fusion protein having multiple immune epitopes can be used in preparation of plant immune PAMP polypeptides.

Provided is a monoacylated MEL. A microorganism of the genus Pseudozyma produces monoacylated MEL-B.

The present invention relates to a method of making non-woven material from mycelium produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture. The present invention also relates to use of a crosslinking agent in making a non-woven material from mycelium produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture. In addition, the present invention relates to use of mixing in making a non-woven material from mycelium produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture. The present invention relates also to a mycelium based non-woven material, wherein the mycelium is produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture.

The invention provides environmentally-friendly compositions and methods for reducing the viscosity of crude oil using microorganisms and/or biosurfactants produced by microorganisms.

Methods of producing a hybrid organism. The methods include providing a first organism, providing a second organism, providing a fusing medium, combining the first organism and the second organism in or on the fusing medium to define a fusion environment, and initiating somatic fusion between the first organism and the second organism in the fusion environment to produce the hybrid organism. The first organism is either a plant organism or a fungus organism. The second organism is either a plant organism or a fungus organism. In some examples, the first organism is Tuber melanosporum . In certain examples, the second organism is either Panaeolus cambodginiensis or Panaeolus cyanescens . In some examples, the methods include incubating the hybrid organism, regenerating cell walls of the hybrid organism, and/or replicating the hybrid organism.

Provided herein are shelf-stable protein food ingredients, food products comprising the shelf-stable protein food ingredients, methods of their production, and methods of their use. The shelf-stable protein food ingredients comprise cultured fungal biomass and a limited amount of water. Advantageously, the shelf-stable protein food ingredients can be stored, transported, and delivered within the food supply.

The present disclosure provides methods for producing consumable recombinant proteins that are substantially free from herein-disclosed undesired byproducts.

The present invention provides a method for making a consortium of fungi resistant to traces of carbamates contained in thiodicarb and to traces of synthetic pyrethroids contained in bifenthrin. During the course of this research, carried out over more than five years, the strains were subjected to a change in physical medium, adapting same to tolerate increasing concentrations of thiodicarb and bifenthrin. This compound enriches and increases the concentration of beneficial microorganisms, generating high-quality liquid biological fertilisers suitable for use in agricultural production, in land recovery and conservation, under the parameters established in sustainable organic farming, which seeks to conserve, recover and use nature or the environment without generating the least negative impact.
