Eleven white-rot fungi were examined for their potency to degrade lignin and to improve the rumen fermentability of wheat straw. The straw was inoculated with the fungi and incubated under solid state conditions at 24 °C for 0–49 days to determine changes in in vitro gas production and chemical comp
In het kader van het 'Input-Output' project van WUR tracht men in een experimentele champignonteelt in Wageningen sluitende balansen te generen voor de belangrijkste parameters bij de benutting van compost. Dat levert interessante data op..
The button mushroom Agaricus bisporus is one of the most widely cultivated edible mushroom species in the world. Being the main species cultivated in the Western hemisphere, its popularity also increases in Eastern Countries such as China and Korea. The world production level for 2009 is estimated a
Een groot aantal metingen uit de glastuinbouw zijn toegepast in combinatie met in de champignonteelt bekende metingen. Dit is gerealiseerd in een experiment in een teeltcel van Unifarm te Wageningen. De dataset leverde informatie over de opzet van de metingen, teeltbalansen en de benutting van organ
The use of oil palm fronds (OPF) in livestock production is limited as up to 0.20 of their dry biomass is lignin. White rot fungi (WRF) are very effective basidiomycetes for biological pre-treatment as they degrade lignin extensively. Ten WRF were screened for their potential to increase OPF digesti
In the present study, a set of 68 P. eryngii wild strains collected from nine locations in northwest and west of Iran along with six commercial strains were studied using universal rice primers (URP). The wild strains were isolated from Ferula ovina, F. haussknechtii, Cachrys ferulacea, Kellusia odo
Mushrooms are known for their immune-modulating and anti-tumour properties. The polysaccharide fraction, mainly -glucans, is responsible for the immune-modulating effects. Fungal -glucans have been shown to activate leukocytes, which depend on structural characteristics of -glucans. As edible mushro
