Towards mineralised mycelium biocomposites: optimising fungal growth and ureolytic biomineralisation

KU Leuven researchers investigated the optimal conditions for fungal growth and microbial calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) for mineralising matrices of MBCs, with the aim of enhancing MBC properties

Mycelium biocomposites (MBCs) are sustainable materials that bind organic waste particles to create solid biocomposites, yet applications of these materials…
