Volvariella volvacea, strain V14, produces multiple forms of extracellular laccase when grown in submerged culture in a defined medium with glucose as sole carbon source, and on cotton waste 'compost' representative of the conditions used for industrial-scale mushroom cultivation. In liquid culture, enzyme synthesis is associated with the onset of secondary growth, and is positively regulated b...

Abstract In the development of all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLB), progress is made with solid‐state electrolytes; however, challenges regarding compatibility and stability still exist solid electrodes. These issues result in a low battery capacity short cycle life, which limit commercial application ASSLBs. This review summarizes recent research on electrodes ASSLBs including solid–soli...

The importance of solid-state diffusion and crystal growth of the solid product in a gas-solid reaction with solid product formation (GSRSPF) are discussed with direct sulfation of limestone as a representative example. A GSRSPF usually involves nucleation and crystal growth of the solid product, which are necessary processes for the formation of the new phase of the solid product. Solid-state ...

An anaerobic culture capable of dechlorinating polychlorinated biphenyls was subcultured under strict anaerobic conditions on solid media containing sterilized river sediment. The dechlorination activity was transferred as a bacterial colony on a solid medium three times. After two transfers on solid medium, the culture was no longer methanogenic but still dechlorinated a mixture of tri- and te...

Grifola gargal Singer and Grifola sordulenta Mont. (Singer) are two edible and medicinal mushroom species which occur in the AndinoPatagonian forests of Argentina and Chile. These woods that mainly consist of Nothofagus spp. are under increasing pressure with the consequent need of finding alternative sources for these mushrooms rather than gathering them. The main interest in these species is ...

 Central composite orthogonal design was applied to quantify relations  of xylanase production, loss of dry matter and change of pH with four critical variables during solid state fermentation of a mixture of wheat bran and wheat straw on which Aspergillus niger CCUG 33991 was cultivated. The studied variables included the percentage of wheat straw, temperature, moisture content, and fermentati...
