Decomposition of Fiber by the Basidiomycetes

담자균류(擔子菌類)에 의(依)한 섬유질류(纖維質類) 분해(分解)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

Various enzymes produced by the Basidiomycetes, i.e. Pleurotus ostreatus, Pholiota nameko and Flammulina velutipes have been analysed. The purpose of the analyses is to produce a nutritious fertilizer from saw dust, sweet potato stems, corn stems and barley stems which are known as the farm product waste materials. The results of the analyses are as follows: 1. In order for P. ostreatus, Pho. nameko and F. velutipes to grow properly, the saw dust of broad-leaved trees, poplar and chestnut were mixed with sweet-potato stems, corn stems and barley straws at the ratio of $42{\sim}49\;:\;30$, and then to this mixture was added rice bran at the ratio of $18{\sim}35\;:\;30$ The following proved to be optimum conditions for the growth in this test: the parcentage of water content $60{\sim}70%$, $24{\sim}26^{\circ}C$ degrees of temperature. 2. We analyzed the fiber contained in the above materials after 20 days growth in various media. We found out that the fiber was decomposed up to $47{\sim}50%$ and polysaccharified. Lignin was decomposed up to $20{\sim}25%$ and about three times as much protein was contained in the product as in the original materials. 3. Our analyses revealed the possibility of producing concentrated feed from the crude fiber.

담자균(擔子菌) Pleurotus ostreatus, Pholiota nameko, Flammulina velutipes가 생산(生産)하는 각종(各種) 효소(酵素)에 의(依)한 톱밥류와 농산물 폐물인 고구마줄기, 옥수수대 및 보리짚의 영양사료(榮養飼料)에 관하며 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 활엽수, 포플라 및 밤나무의 톱밥과 고구마줄기 옥수수대 및 보리짚의 비율을 $42{\sim}49$ 대(對) 30으로 조절(調節)하고 쌀겨 $18{\sim}25$의 비율로 배합한 기질(基質)에서 수분함량(水分含量) $67{\sim}70%$, 온도(溫度) $24{\sim}26^{\circ}C$가 발육(發育)에 적합(適合)하였다. 2. 20일간(日間) 각시험구(各試驗區)에서 생장(生長)시킨 후(後) 원료기질중(原料基質中)의 섬유를 조사(調査)한 바, $47{\sim}50%$ 분해(分解)하여 다당류화(多糖類化)시켰고 리그닌은 $20{\sim}25%$ 분해(分解)하였고 단백질함량은 처음의 약 3배량(倍量)이었다. 3. 조(粗)섬유의 농후사료화(濃厚飼料化)가 가능(可能)하였다.
