Study on physicochemical properties and microbial diversity of flammulina velutipes residue during rapid fermentation

In order to investigate the effects of different mass ratios of corn straw, super absorbent resin (SAR) and cellulose decomposing strains on fermentation of flammulina velutipes residue, the cellulose degradation rate, germination index, bacterial diversity, urease activity?cellulase activity and other indicators were evaluated comprehensively so as to determine the optimal fermentation parameters. The research results indicated that the three factors of corn straw, high water-absorbent resin?SAR?, and cellulose-decomposing strains have the tendency to enhance fermentation in the process. In the orthogonal test, the treatment with the highest cellulose degradation rate was T6. By 24 days, all the treated seeds germination Indices (GIs) were higher than 80%, which indicated that they were basically harmless to crops. The cellulase activity and urease activity of each treatment showed the characteristics of first rising and then decreasing as the fermentation time prolonged. In general, the T6 (the added amount of corn straw was 10%, the amount of super absorbent resin was 0.15%, and the amount of cellulose-decomposing strains was 2%) was the suitable mass ratio of additives in the fermentation which provided a certain theoretical support for resource utilization of flammulina velutipes residue.
