Bioconversion of agro-waste to fungal protein.

Annually generated plant residues, lignocellulose substrate, represent a huge recalcitrant organic deposit on our earth. Biodegration of such plant polymeric materials not only decreases the pressure on environment pollution, but also results in useful bioconversions, utilizing hydrolytic enzymes. Many fungi, including mushrooms, produce lignocellulose-degrading enzymes. As a result, the upgrading of lignocellulosic substrate into protein for food for man and for animal foodstuffs can be brought about by fungal species. The cultivation of mushroom on different lignicellulose in submerged or solid-state fermentation can produce mycelial protein and fruiting bodies. The production of mushroom protein is of great importance because it possesses high food-value and is acceptable to most people. The quality of mushroom protein is also of higher value than that of cereal grains and legumes because all eight essential amino acids are present.
