Title: Growth Response of the Mushroom Agaricus Campestris to Nitrogen Sources When Cultivated in Submerged Fermentation
Abstract: Several sources of nitrogen were employed to study the mycelial growth of the edible mushroom Agaricus campestris. The organic nitrogen sources tested were peptone, urea and yeast extract. The inorganic sources were ammonium citrate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate dibasic and potassium nitrate. The concentrations of the different sources of nitrogen were calculated to provide 0.5 g/L to a peat extract medium used as substrate. Different concentrations of yeast extract, which was the best nitrogen source added, were studied for their effects on growth and on the nitrogen content of the mycelial biomass.
