Figure 2
Spore yield of T. asperellum at different water contents on PS. 3% (w/w) mineral salts (NP/NK). Substrate was sterilized (121 ºC/15 min) and inoculated with 106 spores/g). Treatments with the same letter indicate no significant differences.
Figure 3
Spore yield of T. asperellum at different salt concentrations and PS as carbon source. Substrate was hydrated at 60 %, sterilized (121 ºC/15 min) and inoculated with 106 spores/g. Treatments with the same letter indicate no significant differences.
Figure 4
Spore yield of T. asperellum using different inoculum concentrations. Substrate was hydrated at 60 %, sterilized (121 ºC/15 min) and 3% w/w salt content (NP/NK) . Treatments with the same letter indicate no significant differences.
Figure 5
Spore yield of T. asperellum using different heat treatments. Substrate was hydrated at 60 %, inoculated with 106 spores/g and 3 % w/w salt content (NP/NK). Treatments with the same letter indicate no significant differences. A: Non-sterile PS dried at 60 ºC; B: Sterilized PS (121ºC/15 min) previously dried at 60 ºC; C: Pasteurized PS (100 ºC/30 min) previously dried at 60ºC; D: Air dried PS without sterilization; E: Non processed PS.
