Fig. 6From: Development of a consortium-based microbial agent beneficial to composting of distilled grain waste for Pleurotus ostreatus cultivationThe consortium-based microbial agent improved P. ostreatus growth on DGW compost. a Ergosterol content of P. ostreatus cultured in samples withdrawn at different composting times. b Degradation ratios of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose in the P. ostreatus culture media using the 48 h-composted DGW samples of Compost M and Compost C as substrate. c–g, Dynamics of MnP activity (c), LiP activity (d), laccase activity (e), cellulase activity (f), and xylanase activity (g) in the P. ostreatus culture media using the 48-h-composted DGW samples of Compost M and Compost C as substrate. Compost M, with microbial inoculation. Compost C, without microbial inoculation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001Back to article page
