Antibacterial Activity of Spent Substrate of Mushroom

2021
Nowadays, the uncontrolled use of antibiotics has created the problem of bacterial resistance to them, what has motivated the search for new alternatives of drug for the treatment of bacterial diseases. Here, we compare antimicrobial activity of spent substrate of mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus combined or not with medicinal plants and Lentinula edodes ...

Nutrient conservation during spent mushroom compost application using spent mushroom substrate derived biochar

Chemosphere, 2017
Spent mushroom compost (SMC), a spent mushroom substrate (SMS) derived compost, is always applied to agriculture land to enhance soil organic matter and nutrient contents. However, nitrogen, phosphate and organic matter contained in SMC can leach out and contaminate ground water during its application.

Leachate Chemistry of Field‐Weathered Spent Mushroom Substrate

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2001
ABSTRACTPassive leaching by rainfall and snowmelt is a popular method to treat piles of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) before its reuse. During this field weathering process, leachate percolates into the underlying soils. A field study was conducted to examine the chemistry of SMS leachate and effects of infiltration.

Super‐absorbent resin preparation utilizing spent mushroom substrates

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2013
ABSTRACTTo find high value‐added utilization for spent mushroom substrates (SMS), a series super‐absorbent sample were prepared with SMS mass ratio between 0% and 100% based on acrylic acid plus SMS, heated with microwave. The maximum absorbency of the composite with 25% SMS ratio in water and saline corresponding to 0.3 wt % initiator is 458 and 61 g ...

Composting of Spent Mushroom Substrate and Winery Sludge

Compost Science & Utilization, 2014
ABSTRACTProduction of mushrooms and wine has a very significant economic impact on the Region of La Rioja (Spain). A direct consequence of these activities is the production of large volumes of agricultural wastes. Since composting may be a viable alternative means to reduce the environmental problems currently associated with the management of these ...

Removal of pollutants using spent mushrooms substrates

Environmental Chemistry Letters, 2018
Due to increasing environmental pollution, there is a need for cheap and effective methods to remove pollutants from water. Mushrooms can be used as a green adsorbent in modified and natural forms to remove pollutants such as dyes and heavy metals. The use of edible mushrooms is not judicious because edible mushrooms have good nutritive and medicinal ...

ENHANCING RICE SEEDLING GROWTH PERFORMANCE USING SPENT MUSHROOM SUBSTRATE

2023
Rice plays a vital role in global food security, serving as a primary energy source for over half of the world's population. To advance rice cultivation, particular emphasis is placed on the survival and growth of seedlings during the early stages. Concurrently, the mushroom production industry has flourished to meet growing consumer demands.

Silver−Protein (Core−Shell) Nanoparticle Production Using Spent Mushroom Substrate

Langmuir, 2007
A simple route for the synthesis of silver-protein (core-shell) nanoparticles using spent mushroom substrate (SMS) has been demonstrated in this work. SMS exhibits an organic surface that reduces silver ions and stabilizes the silver nanoparticles by a secreted protein.

Steam gasification of pyrolysis char from spent mushroom substrate

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2019
Abstract Steam gasification of char derived from spent mushroom substrate was carried out in thermobalance coupled with mass spectrometer, in the temperature range of 800–900 °C and the steam concentration from 10 to 50 vol%. Syngas production was influenced by temperature and steam concentration.
