Enhanced protein and amino acids of corn–ethanol co-product by Mucor indicus and Rhizopus oryzae

Mucoromycota fungi as powerful cell factories for modern biorefinery

“…In fact, several studies suggest utilizing Mucoromycota as a high value nutritious ingredient directly in animal feed. Thus, Barnharst et al (2021) suggested Mucor indicus and Rhizopus oryzae biomass grown on corn-based Fig. 1 Overview over the Mucoromycota fungi metabolites and their applications wet distiller's grains as value added component of the monogastric animal feed.…”

Application of microbial resources in biorefineries: Current trend and future prospects

“…Conidiobolus coronatus , an entomopathaogenic fungus was reported to produce amino acids glycine (0.7 %), leucine (2.7 %), and proline (6.2 %) of its total weight [ 117 ]. Biomass derived from M. indicus and R. oryzae cultivated on wet distiller's grains from corn were employed as an enriched constituent of monogastric animal feed formulations, while cultivation of A. oryzae , Neurospora intermedia and R. oryzae on vinasse material could yield a protein rich fish feed [ 118 , 119 ].…”

Sustainable swine feeding programs require the convergence of multiple dimensions of circular agriculture and food systems with One Health

“…Selected microalgae strains can efficiently and economically use nutrients in dairy wastewater ( Lu et al, 2016 ) and meat processing ( Lu et al, 2015 ) streams to remove nitrogen and increase biomass yield, nitrogen, and oil concentrations for use in biofuels production and animal feeds. Furthermore, upcycling high fiber ingredients such as wet corn distillers grains with solubles, soybean hulls, cottonseed meal, and canola meal using solid state fungal fermentation can be an effective approach to degrade fiber, mycotoxins, and phytate while enhancing amino acid concentrations, balance, and digestibility ( Barnhart et al, 2021 ; Sun et al 2021a , 2021b , 2021c ). Therefore, further development and scaling up ofthese biotic processing technologies can greatly enhance the nutritional value of relatively low value feedstuffs in swine diets and provide significant contributions towards reducing the environmental footprint of feed used in commercial pork production systems.…”
