Abstract:Peat moss (Sphagnum) biomass is a promising bioresource to substitute peat in growing media with a renewable material. For sustainable production on a large scale, the productivity of Sphagnum mosses has to be increased by optimizing culture conditions. Optimization was achieved using fractional factorial design and response surface methodology based on central composite design to determine concentrations of eight factors leading to highest biomass yield. We improved a standard Sphagnum medium by reducing the … Show more
