A large amount of mushroom waste is generated during production (accounting for up to 20% total production) and mainly composed mushrooms that do not meet the specifications set by retailers because misshapen caps and/or stalks. Mushrooms are notable their ergosterol (a precursor vitamin D2) content which converted D2 after exposure natural or artificial ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Therefore, could be used as a source recovery both valorized pharmaceutical food industries. The current...
Deficiency of trace metals exacerbates instability in the methanogenic phase two-phase thermophilic AD. The addition a micronutrient supplement containing calcium, magnesium, cobalt and nickel was found to help process recovery, increasing methane production by up 40%. In this study, next gen sequencing used identify changes brought micronutrients bacterial community process. diversity before supplementation considerably low single species Phylum Thermotogae sole dominant group. comprising...
