Abstract
- The balance of nitrogen and nitrogen compounds in Pleurotus ostreatus, cultivated on waste materials, corn straw and maize residues, was investigated. The results show that this organism has a considerable ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, fixing 312 g of total nitrogen per 100 kg dry weight. When recalculating with respect to a decrease of the substrate during growth of the organism a value of 9.7 mg per 1 g of the decrease in material is obtained. Fruiting bodies, as well as the produced substrate contain 17-19 amino acids. In the produced substrate the content of the protein nitrogen represents only 30% of the total. It can concluded that Pleurotus ostreatus yields a suitable raw material in the food industry and possibly also a fodder based on the basis of solid, cellulose-containing wastes.
