Fermentation-Based Valorization of Grapevine Waste: Microbial Bioconversion, Bioactive Recovery, and Industrial Bioprocess Integration

Vineyard management and winemaking leave behind large residue streams that are still rarely used as fermentation feedstocks. This review considers how pomace, skins, seeds, stems, canes, pruning wood, leaves and wine lees can be directed toward microbial bioconversion, fermentati...

Mushroom β-Glucan as a Novel Prebiotic: Enhancing Recovery of the Post-Antibiotic Gut Microbiota over 60 Days

Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis can cause persistent alterations in gut microbial composition and fermentative metabolism, yet the long-term role of mushroom β-glucan-based prebiotics in supporting post-antibiotic microbiota modulation remains poorly defined. To address this gap, th...
