One step industrial enzymatic technology of starch hydrolysis to glucose
(Corresponding) Kvesitadze G., Khvedelidze R., (Corresponding) Urushadze T., Kutateladze L., Zakariashvili N., Jobava M., Sadunishvili T.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Starch degrading enzymes like amylase have received great attention because of their technological significance and economic benefits. As a result of screening of Durmishidze Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology collection of mycelial fungi, accounting 2500 individual strains, 39 strains...Read more
Analysis of fungal bioaerosols in Athens: a pilot study.
(Corresponding) Metaxatos A., Manibusan S., Mainelis G.
Topic:
Urban environment and health
This pilot study is the first attempt to describe the bioaerosol composition found in Athens' urban air by DNA barcoding. There are currently limitations in establishing a direct link between fungal exposure and health effects due to shortcomings of existing sampling and analysis methods,...Read more

Conversion of agro-industrial wastes into non-toxic protein-rich food additives by basidial fungi strains isolated from diverse ecosystems of Georgia
(Corresponding) Kvesitadze G., Tsiklauri N., Khvedelidze R., Kutateladze L., Sadunishvili T.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Great interest to basidial fungi is determined by their potential to convert number of lignocellulosic wastes into nontoxic compounds, cheap food, pharmaceuticals, etc. The majority of basidial fungi strains are characterized by high activity of enzymes degrading plant biopolymers, including lignin...Read more
Pretreatment of Agro-Industrial Wastes with Basidial Fungi Strains for Effective Delignification of Lignocellulosic Wastes
(Corresponding) Kvesitadze G., Tsiklauri N., Kutateladze L., Urushadze ., Khokhashvili I., Sadunishvili T.
Topic:
Biowaste
Lignocellulosic biomass, including agro-industrial wastes, is an ideal cheap and abundant source of glucose for ethanol production. The complex structure of lignin makes it difficult to hydrolyze the biomass cellulose to sugars and other organic compounds. In recent years, it has become more and...Read more
