METHOD OF PRODUCING BIOMASS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC C12N1/16 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology and specifically to a method of producing a protein biomass complete in amino acid composition by culturing a microscopic fungus Hypomyces odoratus in submerged conditions on a nutrient medium containing such lignocellulose wastes of agriculture, such as crushed straw of cereal crops.

EFFECT: product obtained by disclosed method differs from initial substrate (cereal straw) in terms of protein content, its amino acid composition, enzymatic activity of the culture liquid (xylanase, a complex of cellulolytic enzymes, laccase), content of crude fat, vitamins; of particular value is the ability of the fungus to produce the indispensable amino acid lysine (16.44 mg/g and 15.43 mg/g, respectively, on spring wheat straw and winter wheat straw), unsaturated fatty acids related to omega-6 fatty acids – 8Z,11Z-eicosadienoic (36%) and linoleic (4%), also oleic acid (30%), vitamins of group B.
