Mycelial Growth, Biomass Production and Iron Uptake by Mushrooms of Pleurotus species Cultivated on Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R. D. Webster
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mushrooms absorb minerals and are able to accumulate them as functional organic compounds during growth.<strong> </strong>Iron is one of the elements required for various metabolic processes<strong> </strong>but low intake has resulted to some nutritional deficiencies.<strong> </strong>This study investigated<strong> </strong>the effect of different iron concentrations in the culture media on mycelial growth, biomass production, hyphae diameter and distance between septa of six species of <em>Pleurotus,</em> namely <em>Pleurotus</em> <em>ostreatus;</em> <em>Pleurotus</em> <em>cornucopiae</em>; <em>Pleurotus</em> <em>djamor</em>; <em>Pleurotus</em> <em>pulmonarius</em>, and <em>Pleurotus</em> <em>djamor</em> v. <em>roseus</em>. These macrofungi were further grown on substrate based <em>Urochloa</em> <em>decumbens</em> with addition of Fe (0, 500 and 1000 mg Kg<sup>-1</sup>). The mycelial growth rate and biomass produced by <em>Pleurotus </em>species<em> </em>decreased (P&lt;0.05)<em> </em>as iron concentration increased from (0 - 100) mg L<sup>-1</sup>. This shows an inhibitory interaction between the fungi and iron at higher concentration. The hyphae diameter and distance between septa of the examined fungi were respectively ranged from 45 µm to 80 µm and 40 µm to 119 µm at iron concentration of (0 -100) mg L<sup>-1</sup>. The estimated iron uptake in cultivated <em>Pleurotus</em> species ranged from 37.8 µg g<sup>-1</sup> to 96.6 µg g<sup>-1</sup> when 500 mg Kg<sup>-1</sup> and 1000 mg Kg<sup>-1</sup> of Fe was added to the substrate. The cultivation of edible macrofungi enriched with iron could improve the socio economic status and play a nutritional role in decreasing anemia.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
