Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Microorganisms have been used in food technology for centuries, such as, for example, in fermentation processes. More and more fungal metabolites are being researched and can be used in the food industry. These include exopolysaccharides that can be used in the design of edible coatings and pigments (which have coloring, but also antimicrobial and antioxidant functions). Increasingly, microbial proteins are also used as an ingredient in plant-based food to supplement products with essential exogenous amino acids. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect new research, as well as to review the current knowledge, on fungal metabolites that can be used in food technology.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The aim of this study was to determine the magnesium-binding capacity of Cyberlindnera jadinii yeast in media prepared from potato wastewater and glycerol (after biodiesel production), supplemented with magnesium salt. The research was carried out in two stages. In the first, the ability to binding magnesium by yeast in media supplemented with various doses of this element was tested. In the second stage, after selecting the appropriate dose of magnesium, the culture was carried out in a bioreactor. The composition of the yeast biomass was also analysed in terms of lipids and protein content and amino acid composition. Studies have shown that this type of medium can be used as a culture medium for the growth of C. jadinii yeast. In the first stage of the study, the most magnesium (8.97 mg/gd.m.) was bound by yeast cells after 48 h of cultivation in a medium supplemented with the addition of magnesium at a dose of 2 g/L. In the second stage of the research, the highest magnesium content in the biomass (7.9 mg/gd.m.) was noted after 24 h of cultivation in the same medium. The lipid and protein contents in the biomass obtained after 24 h of cultivation in the bioreactor were 6.35 and 43.73%, respectively. The main fatty acids present in the yeast lipids were oleic acid (59.4%) and linoleic acid (8.6%). Analysis of the amino acid profile of the proteins showed the highest proportions were glutamic acid (13.7%) and aspartic acid (11%). Full article
