TL;DR: The primordial initiation day was observed between the 21st and 30th day after spawning in P. platypus and P. citrinopileatus and the biological efficiency, nutrient composition, energy value and energy recovery of the fruit bodies were estimated.

TL;DR: The three species of Pleurotus cultivated on various agro-residues such as paddy straw, maize stover, sugarcane bagasse, coir pith and a mixture of these wastes reported the biological efficiency, nutrient composition, energy value and energy recovery of the fruit bodies obtained on these substrates.

TL;DR: The crude enzyme preparations obtained from ethanol precipitation were found to be more effective in improving tea leaf fermentation than the purified pectinase enzymes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of Trichoderma harzianum WL1 crude laccase and the fungal system for the biobleaching of wastepaper pulp and treatment of paper industry effluent was investigated.
