Researchers use fungus to create plastic-free food packaging

Mycelium makes packaging water- and oil-resistant like plastic

24-Feb-2026 - Walk into any grocery store and you will find aisle after aisle of food wrapped in a host of different plastics. Concern about chemicals and plastic in food packaging have been growing in recent years. A recent study reported that over a quarter of the 16,000 chemicals used to make plastic pose ...

Electric fungi: The biobattery that needs to be fed

Microbiology meets electrical engineering

10-Jan-2025 - A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is exactly what Empa researchers have achieved with their 3D-printed, biodegradable fungal battery. The living battery could supply power to sensors for agriculture or research in remote regions. Once the work is done, it digests itself from ...

Efficient plastic-feeding fungi in freshwater ecosystems identified

Contrary to previous assumptions, no pre-treatment of the plastics was necessary

01-Jul-2024 - The presence of plastics in our environment is an increasing burden on nature and our health. Scientists from the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) and the University of Potsdam have now identified fungi isolated from freshwater ecosystems that can efficiently ...

Fungus breaks down ocean plastic

“What makes this research scientifically outstanding, is that we can quantify the degradation process”

17-Jun-2024 - A fungus living in the sea can break down the plastic polyethylene, provided it has first been exposed to UV radiation from sunlight. Researchers from, among others, NIOZ published their results in the scientific journal Science of the Total Environment. They expect that many more plastic ...

A fungus converts cellulose directly into a novel platform chemical

A new process for the mass production of erythro-isocitric acid from waste could make the substance interesting for industry in the future

27-May-2024 - The fungus Talaromyces verruculosus can produce the chemical erythro-isocitric acid, which has received little attention on the market to date, directly from cheap plant waste and thus make it interesting for industrial utilization. Using the natural abilities of the non-genetically modified ...

Marine fungi could degrade plasticizers

“It's simply amazing”

24-Jan-2024 - It has been known only for a few years that marine fungi float freely throughout the oceans. So far, researchers know next to nothing about how these fungi interact with plastic. Oceanographer Federico Baltar assumes that certain marine microbes can metabolize plasticizers contained in plastic. ...
