Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the ω-3 and ω-6 class (eg, α-linolenic acid, linoleic
acid) are essential for maintaining biofunctions in mammalians like humans. Due to the fact …

Lipids are a biorefinery platform to prepare fuel, food and health products. They are
traditionally obtained from plants, but those of microbial origin allow for a better use of land …

This study is focused in the production of cell-wall degrading enzymes (chitinase, β-1, 3-
glucanase, endocellulase and exocellulase) by solid state fermentation using the fungus …

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a powerful fermentation technology for valorizing rest
materials and by-products of different origin. Oleaginous Zygomycetes fungi are often used …

Lipids are essential for any organism. They are hydrophobic compounds and include, for
instance, acylglycerides, free fatty acids, sterols and isoprenoids. Their synthesis starts from …

Arachidonic acid (ARA) is an integral constituent of cell structures and is instrumental for the
nervous, muscular, and immune systems' functions. The sore need for this nutrient may be …

Oleaginous microorganisms, including the fungus Umbelopsis isabellina, have emerged as
a biotechnological alternative to obtain polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich oils, which are …

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) of rice bran (RB) employing the edible fungus Pleurotus
sapidus was investigated as a process strategy to improve the nutritional quality of this low …

Filamentous fungi, such as Umbelopsis isabellina, produce oils rich in monounsaturated
fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which are essential nutrients that …

Arachidonic acid (ARA) is a sorely needed nutrient and an effective and safe
schistosomicide and tumoricide. Consumption levels are low in developing countries …
