Summary
Three white-rot fungi,Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Polyporus anceps, andPleurotus sapidus, were grown in shake flasks on maple and cedar bark. The barks for growth were extracted with 1% NaOH and microbial growth was estimated by biuret protein. The maximum yields were 136 and 116 mg protein/gm of bark forPhanerochaete chrysosporium andPolyporus anceps and occurred at 4 days. These two fungi were active cellulase producers and were shown to exhibit an extensive linear phase during batch growth.Pleurotus sapidus produced laccase but negligible growth. A non-linear relationship between bark concentration and protein yield was found.
