UTILIZATION OF SPENT SUBSTRATES AND WASTE PRODUCTS OF MUSHROOM CULTIVATION TO PRODUCE NEW CROPS OF PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS, PLEUROTUS ERYNGII AND AGARICUS BISPORUS

Utilization of spent substrates and waste products of mushroom cultivation to produce new crops of Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii and Agaricus bisporus

Five agro-industrial residues, their corresponding spent mushroom substrates (SMS), commercial fresh and spent mushroom compost of Agaricus (SMC) and Pleurotus ostreatus (SMS GZ) cultivation, Pleurotus and Agaricus waste (stipes/mishappen mushrooms) were combined and re-utilized as novel substrates for the cultivation of P.ostreatus, P.eryngii and

Opa1 relies on cristae preservation and ATP synthase to curtail reactive oxygen species accumulation in mitochondria

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a common product of active mitochondrial respiration carried in mitochondrial cristae, but whether cristae shape influences ROS levels is unclear.Here we report that the mitochondrial fusion and cristae shape protein Opa1 requires mitochondrial ATP synthase oligomers to reduce ROS accumulation.In cells fueled with

The Efficacy of Yeast Phagostimulant Baits in Attract-and-Kill Strategies Varies between Summer- and Winter-Morphs of Drosophila suzukii

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a globally invasive pest of soft and stone fruit.To survive winter in temperate zones it enters a reproductive diapause in a morphologically distinct phenotype.Phagostimulant baits can be combined with insecticides in attract-and-kill strategies for control.We investigated the effectiveness of single yeast species
