Abstract
AbstractBiocalorimetry can aid in the monitoring of solid-state fermentation (SSF) of lignocelluloses and enables to determine fungal growth rates and stages during growth on e. g. wheat straw. It further allows to determine species-specific fungal heat yield coefficients (YQ/X), which indicate the degree of resource investment into fungal biomass versus other functional attributes. YQ/X values seem suitable to link fungal potentials for biomass production to different fungal lignocellulose utilization strategies and may be considered as fungal life history traits.
