✦ Synopsis
Two basidiomycetes cultures, BH, and BW,, isolated from the biomanure sample of a bio-gas plant belonging to Polyporus sp., were used in combination with cellulolytic cultures viz. Trichoderma sp. and Cellulomonas strain R2 for microbial protein production from whole bagasse. The biomass yields obtained were much higher in mixed cultures fermentation than in corresponding controls. Combination of BH,/BW, with Cellulornonas proved to be the better in comparison with Trichoderma. Simultaneous inoculation of the bacteria along with BH, culture resulted in higher protein production.
