Microbial utilization of Pinus radiata bark.

Applied Microbiology
D M Updegraff, W D Grant

Abstract

A screening program using suspensions of ground bark in mineral salts media, or extracts prepared from ground bark by treating with hot water, sulfuric acid, ammonium hydroxide, or sodium hydroxide, yielded more than 200 pure cultures of fungi, yeasts, and bacteria. Only 38 of these have good growth on liquid bark media. All were filamentous fungi, although many bacteria and yeasts were among the cultures that failed to give appreciable growth. Species of Penicillium, Scopulariopsis, Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Cladosporium, and Fusarium were among the most actively growing cultures. Cell biomass yields, as measured by cell nitrogen determination, were too low for economic production of single cell protein.
