Nitrogen – a guide element in the bioconversion of lignocellulosics

Several balanced experiments of protein enrichment have shown that if ammonia is the sole N source in the bioconversion of lignocellulosics, significant data on the process can either be received from the N consumption determined, or from fixed organic nitrogen. Nitrogen can be a guide element for such data as cell biomass, utilized substrate, degree of bioconversion, specific substrate consumption coefficient, crude protein and crude protein yield, which are all necessary for the classification of fungi and substrates as well as for process characterization and optimization.
