Aerobic fermentation prior to pasteurization produces a selective substrate for cultivation of the mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius
Description of the subject.Pleurotus species are cultivated on lignocellulosic substrates, in which contaminant fungi such as Trichoderma spp.are common.A selective substrate for Pleurotus provides the necessary conditions for protection against contaminants.Studies show that Paenibacillus polymyxa and other thermophilic bacteria benefit from the s
