Fungal Material Science

Shaping the future with Fungi

Fungi are almost everywhere and have enormous potential as both sustainable final products and components in building materials. Liquid fermentation can provide fast and scalable production of paper-like materials and mono filaments for use in the textile industry. Solid-state fermentation uses the non-fruiting part of the fungus to produce leather like material, insulation or potentially even replace building bricks in houses.

The oCelloScope is used as part of the growth optimization process in fermentations and to test antimicrobial properties of fungal final products.

Sustainable textiles

Fungi in fermentations can be used to upcycle byproducts and wastes into flexible fungal materials. At Borås university in Sweden, associated professor Akram Zamani and team have published several papers on turning food waste into fungal mono filament fibers. The fungal biomass is grown on bread waste and fibers are speculated to open new avenues for sustainable biomedical textiles from abundant food waste. Fungal fibers have been shown to exhibit antimicrobial properties.

Evaluating uniformity

With new materials comes new needs for quality analysis. With the oCelloScope you can use most assay containers available, such as microtiter plates, microscope slides and flow-cells. In addition, BioSense Solution custom make assay containers/plates for teams
