Key Findings
- Researchers from Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University found that the fungus Annulohypoxylon stygium can produce 2-PE, a valuable aromatic compound
- The strain "Jinjiling" (S20) of A. stygium produced the highest concentration of 2-PE, reaching 2.33 g/L under optimal conditions
- Using spent compost from the fungus Tremella fuciformis as a medium, the study demonstrated a sustainable and cost-effective method for 2-PE production
