I would like to know the existence of possible ways to separate mycelium after the solid-state fermentation of waste material.
I know about the membrane culture process for mycelium but couldn't find a good source/way to separate mycelium biomass from solid-state fermented materials other than agar mediums.
I think you found the best solution in the isolation of mycelia on agar medium from solid-state fermentation products on agar plates, If you see that your culture sporulating during fermentation you can use heat treatment of the sample before isolation to exclude growing any non-spore-forming microorganisms during isolation.
hello Karen
please document yourself on the following technics
since they can be useful to your case
The choice of separation method depends on the specific fermentation product, the nature of the mycelium, and the desired purity of the mycelium. It is important to note that some methods may require additional processing steps to recover and purify the mycelium after separation.
