DYNAMICS OF DESTRUCTION OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE LIGNOCELLULOSE COMPLEX OF AS-PEN WOOD SAWDUST, WHEAT STRAW, AND SUNFLOWER CASING UNDER THE ACTION OF FUNGUS MY-CELIUM PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS

Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the effect of basidiomycetes on the aromatic and carbohydrate components of plant materials under the influence of the mycelium of the Pleurotus ostreatus fungus. To achieve this goal, we carried out a component analysis of the initial plant raw materials and raw materials after exposure to the mycelium of the basidiomycete. The moisture content in the raw material was determined, and the analysis of the content of: lignin, cellulose, easily and difficultly hydrolysable polysaccharides was carried out. The quantitative analysis of the structural components of plant raw materials was carried out according to the methods generally accepted in the chemistry of plant raw materials, in terms of absolutely dry raw materials. Chemical analysis of substrates showed that polysaccharides undergo bioconversion in the first place; difficultly hydrolyzable polysaccharides underwent biodegradation to a greater extent. It can be concluded that lignin does not completely destroy lignin on annual plants, as a result of which the growth and productivity of mushrooms increases.
