Description :
The deproteinised juice (DPJ) is also known as ‘Whey’ or ‘Liquor’ which is left after the extraction of protein from juice. It is well known that, the DPJ contains biologically active substances like sugars, amino acids and vitamins. These are essential components of the nutrient media useful for the cultivation of microorganisms. The presence of carbohydrates in this product makes it suitable for microbial biomass production. During the present investigation some wild and cultivated plant species (Brassica juncea, Brassica napus, Chenopodium album, Goniocaulonindicum, Brassica oleracea, Celosia argentea, Vign atrilobata, Digera muricata, Tridax procumbens and Ocimum americanum) have been used for the preparation of deproteinised juice (DPJ) and these DPJ has been utilised on the fungal biomass production.
