Twenty two basidiomycetes, mostly white rot fungi, were grown on wheat straw. Lignin-,
cellulose-, and hemicellulose-degradation was recorded in order to find a species growing …

In the generation of biogas, while the cellulose and hemicellulose components of
agricultural wastes are converted into methane and carbon dioxide, the third major …

Seventee white-rot and brown-rot fungi were screened for their ability to fractionate the
lignocellulose structure of oat straw through the preferential attack of lignin or cellulose …

Decomposition of lignocellulosic plant biomass by four filamentous fungi was carried out to
facilitate subsequent anaerobic degradation and biogas formation. Agricultural side …

This study carried out for the first time a comparison among ligninolytic (white-rot) and
cellulosolytic or xylanolytic (Trichoderma) pre-treated wheat straw, for biogas production …

Out of 13 species of Basidiomycetes growing on wheat straw, 9 species enhanced the in
vitro dry matter digestibility of the substrate. The detergent fiber content (acid and neutral) of …

A range of fungi isolated from decomposing straw were compared for their ability to grow on
straw and its components. Extension rates were measured on agar containing water-soluble …

Various spent agro-residues obtained after cultivation of the edible mushroom Pleurotus
sajor-caju were used in anaerobic digestors for production of biogas. The changes that take …

Of 19 white-rot fungi tested, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus sp. 535, Pycnoporus
cinnabarinus 115 and Ischnoderma benzoinum 108 increased the susceptibility of straw to …

Rice straw, used as a substrate for three successive crops of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus
florida having 22% protein, had less cellulose but more nitrogen and ash than the original …
