Abstract : |
Vegetative growth studies of Pleurotus tuberregium were carried out on sawdust of Khaya ivorensis under different salinity conditions of sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium sulphate (Na2SO4), Potassium chloride (KCl), Potassium sulphate (K2SO4), Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and magnesium sulphate (MgSO4). The mycelia of Pleurotus tuberregium grew in all the salts and in all the concentrations tested except at 15 and 20% on sodium chloride where slight mycelial growth was initiated and few days later it withered leaving the substrates uncolonized. Inhibitory effects of the different salts was found to be varied at different concentrations., |
