Summary

Supplementing oat straw in SSF by Polyporus sp A-336 with xylose, mannose, glucose and arabinogalactan at levels of 5 and 10% of straw weight stimulated lignin degradation and cellulose hydrolysis. Degradation of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose was monitored for 30 days in plain straw, and straw plus xylose and showed that xylose shortened the lag in lignin breakdown and slowed hemicellulose utilization. At 24 days, similar polymer losses occurred in both systems and enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis had reached a maximum of 47% weight loss.
