Investigation of bacteria in imported supplemental substrates
for mushroom cultivation media

Abstracts
Supplemental substrates for mushroom cultivation media are potent resources for bacterial contamination of the
indoor environment in cultivation houses. This study was carried out to investigate the presence of harmful
bacteria in supplemental materials (beet pulp, cotton seed meal, kapok meal, peat moss, wheat straw) imported
from Egypt, China, Indonesia, Canada, and Pakistan. Bacteria belonging to Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Gamma
proteobacteria, and Bacterioides were identified based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Seven genera and eight
bacterial species were detected in peat moss. Four genera and seven bacterial species were found in both beet
pulp and wheat straw. In cotton seed meal and kapok meal, three genera and thirteen bacterial species and two
genera and six bacterial species were shown, respectively. Among the identified species, Bacillus anthracis,
Bacillus oleronius, and Lysinibacillus fusiformis are known as human pathogens. Overall, the results of this study
provided evidence that the imported supplemental materials for mushroom cultivation media are contaminated
with pathogenic bacteria.
