| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to determine the ability of nine endophytic fungi associated with bamboo namely; Aspergillus niger. Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus ochraceous, Fusarium sp. 1, Fusarium sp. 2, Fusarium semitectum, Monascus ruber, Peninicillium citrinum, and Cladosporium cladosporoides in the production of the nine fungal endophytes were evaluated through the increase in crude protein content of the fungal enriched onion stalk. Additionally, proximate composition of the fungal enriched dried onion stalks was also tested. Results revealed the capability of the nine endophytic fungi in single cell protein production using dried onion stalks as substrates which led to the increased CPC of the dried onion stalk. P. citrinum - treated dried onion stalk exhibited the highest CPC of 19.06& while A. niger - treated dried onion stalk had the least of 16.87%. As for the proximate composition analysis, reduction of the moisture content in all fungi treated dried onion stalks was assessed after 20 days of solid state fermentation. Increase in ash content and crude fiber of all fungi treated dried onion stalks were also noted. Meanwhile, reduction in the crude fat content of dried onion stalks treated with A flavus, M. ruber, F. semitectum, A. ochraceous, Fusarium sp. 2, A. niger and Fusarium sp. 1 were observed while the rest of the fungal endophytes increased the crude fat of the substrate. | |
