Abstract:
A novel method of growing fungi is disclosed which uses an engineered artificial media and produces high density filamentous fungi biomats that can be harvested with a minimum of processing and from which fungal products such as antibiotics, proteins, and lipids can be isolated, the method resulting in lowered fungus cultivation costs for energy usage, oxygenation, water usage and waste stream production.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of producing a filamentous fungi biomat comprising\n (a) inoculating an effective amount of planktonic cells of at least one filamentous fungi into an artificial liquid growth media, wherein the liquid growth media's carbon source is selected from the group consisting of starch waste, acid whey, corn steep liquor, potato waste, sugar beet waste, glycerol, dextrose, glucose, maltose, galactose, mannose, corn syrup, vegetable scraps, and cattle feedstock water; (b) incubating the inoculated growth media in an undisturbed state for a period of time; (c) producing a filamentous fungi biomat; and (d) optionally harvesting the filamentous fungi biomat.
