Medicinal Mushrooms Cultivation through the Solid-state and Submerged Fermentations of Agricultural Wastes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main aim of this work consists in screening the optimal biotechnology of medicinal mushroom cultivation from the solid-state fermentation and the submerged one by using different kinds of wastes coming from cereal crop processing as well as the agro-food industry. The both fermentation technologies were tested through the controlled cultivation of the medicinal mushrooms Ganoderma lucidum and Lentinula edodes on different growing substrates made of cereal, fruit and vegetable wastes. All the experiments were performed by using a modular system that provided the automatic operations of compost sterilization, aseptic inoculation in a completely clean chamber, incubation as well as mushroom fruit body formation in special growing chambers with controlled atmosphere and the picking up of mushroom fruit bodies. By applying these automatic procedures, all physical and chemical factors that could influence fungal biomass production as well as mushroom fruit body formation could be strictly driven and controlled in order to get high quality products through safe biotechnological models. Comparative results of the chemical investigations regarding some biological active compounds of both fungal pellets from submerged fermentation and mushroom fruit bodies from solid state cultivation are presented.

Grifola gargal Singer and Grifola sordulenta Mont. (Singer) are two edible and medicinal mushroom species which occur in the AndinoPatagonian forests of Argentina and Chile. These woods that mainly consist of Nothofagus spp. are under increasing pressure with the consequent need of finding alternative sources for these mushrooms rather than gathering them. The main interest in these species is ...

Mushroom cultivation benefits humankind as it deliberately encourages wild mushrooms to be commercially propagated while recycling agricultural wastes. Ganoderma neo-japonicum is a rare polypore mushroom found growing on decaying Schizostachyum brachycladium (a tropical bamboo) clumps in Malaysia. The Malaysian indigenous tribes including the Temuans and Temiars use the basidiocarps of G. neo-j...

Ganoderma applanatum belongs to the group of white-rot fungi, due to a well-developed ligninolytic enzyme system. White-rot fungi have attracted great scientific attention in recent years, especially with respect to their enzymatic potential for the bioremediation of persistent pollutants. Contrary to G. lucidum, which medicinal properties, as well as ligninolytic enzyme system have been extens...
