Fruit bodies (separately pilei and stems) of mushrooms <i>Pleurotus ostreatus</i> (four strains) and <i>Pleurotus eryngii</i> were characterised as a source of polysaccharides. The contents of glucans and dietary fibres were determined with using the respective Megazyme enzymatic kits. Enzymatic analysis of the fruit bodies confirmed significant differences in the contents of these components among the species and strains. The stems contained more insoluble dietary fibres than the pilei in all the cases and more β-glucans in most cases. However, relatively high contents of β-glucan (20–50% of dry matter) could be a result of incomplete enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble α-1,3-glucans. Nevertheless, low food quality stems of mushrooms <i>Pleurotus</i> sp. could be a valuable source of cell wall glucans for the preparation of food supplements.

Miscanthus is a high yielding bioenergy crop which has been tested as substrate for the bioprocess. In this study, we selected four typical pairs of Miscanthus samples which present different cell wall compositions. The sample shows significant difference in saccharine production with different concentration pretreatment of H2SO4(0.5%, 1.0%, and 4.0%). Much more pentose (about 15.0% -30.0%) was extracted in the supernatant solution; and no significant difference between four species. The hexose yield of all samples is disciplinary and not in order. Direct enzymatic hydrolysis of the H2SO4presoaked biomass was found to give higher hexose yields of 6.0%–13.0%, but low pentose yields of 1.5%–3.0%.Higher H2SO4concentration resulted in more hexose, but less pentose in enzymatic hydrolysis, while they exhibit good tendency in saccharin yields between four typical pairs.

The composition of the cell walls of synnemal and vegetative hyphae of Ceratocystis ulmi was studied by fractionation and assay of released compounds. Residues after enzymatic hydrolyses were examined by electron microscopy. The synnemal wall was found to have 67% carbohydrate, 4.52% amino sugar, 5.02% protein, 1.6% lipid, and 0.59% ash, which accounted for 78.7% of the cell wall. The vegetative hyphal wall contained 56% carbohydrate, 3.44% amino sugar, 7.92% protein, 4.5% lipid, and 1.45% ash, which totaled 73.3% of the wall weight. Sugars identified were D-glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, and L-rhamnose. Enzymatic hydrolysis of both wall types by cellulase and laminaranase indicated the presence of beta-1,3 and beta-1,4 linkages of glucose polymers. N-acetylglucosamine was liberated by chitinase. Most of the 16 amino acids detected in each wall type were at least twice as abundant in vegetative hyphal walls as in synnemal hyphal walls. Cellulase and laminaranase treatment of cell walls revealed a fibrillar structure. Chitinase-treated walls did not appear as fibrous, suggesting that the fibrous structure may be mostly chitinous. Synnemal cell walls are covered by electron-dense granules which may correspond to the pigment in the synnemal hyphae.

The aim of this work is to develop a technology for the preparation of neutral-sulfite liquors formed during the production of fibrous semi-finished products - cellulose from birch wood - for subsequent use as a nutrient medium for the cultivation of microorganisms. Acid hydrolysis was carried out at a temperature of 100 °С at a ratio of a 10% sulfuric acid solution to a liquor sample of 1 : 1. Enzymatic hydrolysis of neutral sulfite liquors was carried out with the enzyme preparations Accellerase XY and Accellerase XC at 50±2 °C and 60±2 °C. The end of hydrolysis was determined by the cessation of the increase in the content of reducing substances (RS) in the hydrolyzate. The original neutral sulphite lye contained 9.4% dry matter, 21.7 g/l of reducing substances, pH 5.3±0.2. It has been shown that as a result of enzymatic hydrolysis, the content of insoluble dry residue in the hydrolyzate decreases to 8.32% and 8.41%, respectively, and during acid hydrolysis – to 7.8%. The content of RS in neutral sulfite lye after acid hydrolysis increases by an average of 3 times, while after enzymatic hydrolysis - a maximum of 2 times. It was found by gas-liquid chromatography that pentoses predominate in the obtained hydrolysates. Microbiological processing of media with a similar carbohydrate composition is possible by a number of strains of microorganisms capable of assimilating pentoses, for example, yeast-like fungi of the Saccharomycetaceae family and bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family.
