Screening strains of genus Pleurotus for biomass production in solid state fermentation of agricultural residues
(Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P., Melanouri E., Papanikolaou S.
Topic:
Solid waste management
The ability of several strains belonging to Pleurotus ostreatus and P. eryngii mushroom genera to grow on various agricultural residues was examined and their mycelium growth rates and biomass production (estimated as glucosamine content) were compared. Four P. ostreatus (AMRL 137, 144, 147, 150)...Read more
Isolation and identification of microorganisms that can biodegrade organic compounds which are present in olive mill waste.
(Corresponding) Antwnopoulou P., Vyrides I., Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Isolation of microorganisms that can biodegrade organic compounds which are present in olive mill waste and more specifically microorganisms that can survive at high phenol concentrations was studied in the Environmental Engineering Laboratory for three months in the Department of Environmental...Read more
Prohibition of the cultivation of Genetically Modified Organisms in Cyprus through the attitudes of stakeholders
(Corresponding) Varnava Tello A., Zorpas A.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The biotechnology industry has always been held under close public scrutiny and even more so whenever new technology or findings are released. Opponents of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) support that scientific risk assessments are not sufficient to address potential long-term hazards for...Read more
Production parameters and nutritional value of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom cultivated on agricultural wastes
Melanouri I., Fourtaka K., Papanikolaou S., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The influence of two alternative agro-residues (barley and oat straw-ΒΟ and beech wood residues-ΒW) used as main cultivation substrates in respect to wheat straw-WS was examined on the production and quality characteristics of Pleurotus ostreatus, strain AMRL 144. Evaluation included fungal bio-...Read more
