Inventors include Rajni Singh; Nishtha Rajput; Chandni Rohila; and Kajal Chaudhary.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for large-scale spore production using Pearl millet as a substrate. Being an inexpensive and abundant resource, it provides a nutritious environment for fungal growth, and an ideal medium for spore production. Offering benefits in terms of spore generation per grain due to its wide surface-to-volume ratio. Standardization has been done for uniform fungal colonization throughout the grains, which resulted in steady spore development, simplifying the cultivation process, and eliminating the need for the precise environmental control required by liquid cultures. A key advantage of this method is its scalability. Unlike more complex liquid or solid media systems, this method can easily be scaled up by increasing the number of inoculated grains, with minimal additional resources or equipment required. The technology simplifies the cultivation process, reduces contamination risks, and enhances spore preservation. The invention is particularly advantageous to produce spores for various industrial applications. Refer: Figures 1-3
