The Growth of Pleurotus ostreatus Using Potato Dextrose Agar Supplemented with Waste Human Hair Broth (WHHB)
Waste human hair causes environmental problems such as flooding, as a result of clogged drainages. It slowly breaks down over time to yield macro and trace minerals that are eventually returned to nature. Pleurotus ostreatus is cultivated worldwide, and it’s known to grow on several carbon and nitrogen sources. This study assessed the growth of P. ostreatus using potato dextrose agar (PDA) supplemented with Waste Human Hair Broth (WHHB). The growth of P.
