Fungal Biomass Protein, a Bioproduct Derived from a Treatment Process of Winery Waste Streams

澳大利亚葡萄酒行业产生了大量含有高浓度有机物质的废水，这些有机物质既污染严重，处理成本也很高。本研究旨在开发一种与葡萄酒废液中真菌生物质蛋白(FBP)生产相结合的生物技术处理工艺。该项目的成果是：i)生产用作富含蛋白质的动物饲料的真菌生物量；ii)对废水进行处理，以便重新用于农业灌溉；iii)减少对水道的污染。这项研究将开发一种环保的新技术，并通过减少污染和FBP生产为澳大利亚葡萄酒行业增加价值。

The Australian wine industry produces a substantial quantity of wastewater containing high levels of organic materials that are both highly polluting and costly to treat. This research aims to develop a biotechnological treatment process integrated with fungal biomass protein (FBP) production from the winery waste streams. The outcomes of this project are i) the production of fungal biomass for use as a protein-rich animal feed; ii); the treatment of waste water to allow reuse for farm irrigation; and iii) reduced pollution of watercourses. The research will develop a novel technology that is environmentally friendly and adds value to the Australian winery industry via pollution reduction and FBP production.
