Comparative Examination of the Olive Mill Wastewater Biodegradation Process by Various Wood-Rot Macrofungi

Table 3

Mycelium linear growth rates (, mm day⁻¹) for 60 strains of macrofungi growing on PDA and on OMW-based substrates prepared in various dilutions in water (v/v); ngd: no growth detected. Values are expressed as means ± standard deviation of means, . Lack of common superscripts indicates statistically significant differences (Gabriel's -test, ) for comparisons of treatment means between different strains (numbers) and different substrates (lowercase letters).
