Attention has
therefore been turned into the sawdusts of tropical trees
from our saw-mills which of course have been yielding
tremendous results. Also, there is a dearth of information
on the fundamental processes governing the growth of P.
ostreatus on sawdust of the tropical trees as substrates.
The objective of this study has therefore focused mainly
on the investigation of the anti-growth factors of the
mycelium of P. ostreatus particularly in a submerged liquid
fermentation and also the possible and practical steps to
take on how it could be surmounted.
