Description
Alex Maan and co-authors raise the yield of a fungus-made compound prized for farm use, in a 2026 study. The compound, 6-pentyl-alpha-pyrone, comes from Trichoderma fungi and can guard crops. Brewing it in tanks stalls, since the fungus chokes on its own product. The team tested broths, screened New Zealand strains, and tried a resin that soaks the product up as it forms.
A rich broth beat lean ones, and a lean broth with ammonium shut output down. Strain choice mattered a lot: the best of ten strains made far more than the worst. The resin lifted total output three- to five-fold in all five strains tried, trapping near all of the freed compound. Top strains neared five hundred milligrams per liter. The authors back resin capture as a cheap fix for self-choking brews.
