Abstract
In this study, Pleurotus eryngii head part waste in a bag-log was collected and processed to yield mushroom hydrolysate powder (MHP). To test its stimulatory effect, a P. eryngii submerged culture was conducted. The prepared MHP (1.6%) and glucose (2%) were found to be the best sources for both mycelial biomass and EPS productions. A specific growth rate of 0.68day−1, and a specific EPS yield of 9.55g/g-dry-cell-weight were obtained under these conditions. It was also found that MHP gave higher mycelial biomass growth rate (2.05g/L/day), and EPS yield (92mg/L) than those of yeast extract. In 5-L fermentation with MHP as nitrogen source, high mycelial biomass growth rate (2.44g/L/day) and EPS yield (312mg/L) were obtained. In the solid state culture, P. eryngii hyphae growth rate in MHP agar (6.43±0.21mm/day) was better than that in PDA (4.57±0.23mm/day). By using PCA and cluster analysis, the major amino acids of MHP displayed a close similarity to those of P. eryngii mycelial hydrolysate powder (PEMHP).
