Chemical composition and in‐vitro digestibility of biologically degraded peanut hulls

Abstract

Changes in the chemical composition of peanut hulls inoculated with the white-rot fungus, Coriolus versicolor, the brown-rot fungus, Poria placenta, the imperfect mould, Trichoderma reesei, the bacterium Arthrobacter sp. KB-1, a mixture of the four organisms, and the natural microflora associated with freshly shelled hulls were monitored over a 90 day period. At the conclusion of the incubation period, the in-vitro digestibility of the hulls was determined. Although there was a substantial increase in protein content of all samples, there was drastic reduction in the in-vitro digestibility. Of the four components monitored, lignin content was found to be significantly negatively correlated with digestibility. These results suggest that pretreatment of peanut hulls with microorganisms alone will not increase the ruminant digestibility of the hulls.

The secretome ofPleurotus sapidus

“…Each of the cultivations was performed at least in triplicate, and the observed protein patterns proved to be highly reproducible. Spots that were exclusively or preferentially expressed either in the cultures grown on peanut shells (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) or in those on glass wool (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) were excised from the gels for further analysis. Additionally, particularly intensive spots (14-16 and 24) were included in the analysis program.…”

“…In the present study, the basidiomycetous fungus Pleurotus sapidus was grown on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) shells. A lignin content between 23 and 32%, a cellulose content of about 40%, depending on species and time of harvest [11,12], and an almost unlimited availability turn peanut shells into an appropriate substrate for the cultivation of basidiomycetes. In Germany, more than 50 000 tonnes of peanuts are processed just for snack articles every year [13].…”

“…Ati et al (2020) menyatakan bahwa mikroorganisme pada proses ensilase dapat menyebabkan peregangan ikatan lignoselulosa yang menyebabkan penurunana kadar lignin. Penuruna lignin dapat meningkatkan kecernaan (Kerr et al, 1986).…”
