The two types of figurative language that are demonstrated in this text are personification and simile.

When the author states that the “fears came swarming,” it personifies the feeling/emotion by giving it the ability to swarm, as a living creature would, rather than exist usually as an idea. The personification is then further elaborated on by a simile with “swarming about my head like the black flying ants after a storm.” The simile is identified with the use of the word “like” to compare two things or ideas, in this case: fear and black flying ants. The simile compares the effects of the speaker’s fear to the swarming of black flying ants to show how the speaker’s fear is surrounding them entirely. These instances of figurative language create a unique picture in the reader’s mind that allows them to picture the overwhelming nature of the speaker’s fear, adding understanding and depth to the text, while also making the writing more engaging to the reader.

Answer:

his study aimed to evaluate the possibility of cotton waste enrichment with glycine betaine (GB) for production of two strains (P9, P10) of king oyster (Pleurotus eryngii). Cotton waste was used as (100%) control (T0 = cotton waste) and augmented with various combinations of GB, (T1 = 2 mmol L−1, T2 = 4 mmol L−1, T3 = 6 mmol L−1, T4 = 8 mmol L−1 and T5 = 10 mmol L−1). The response of king oyster to GB was evaluated by earliness, yield, biological efficiency (BE), minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca)), total sugars, total soluble solids, reducing sugars, non‐reducing sugars, ascorbic acid, proximate (crude protein, carbohydrates, crude fibers, ash, fats) content of fruiting body and Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis compared with the control substrate (cotton waste).

RESULTS

The earliness, yield, and BE were higher as compared to control substrate and increased with an augmentation in the concentration of GB within the cotton waste. Two strains showed (on dry weight basis) 33.9–54.9 mg g−1 nitrogen, 6.8–12.5 mg g−1 phosphorus, 16.9–25.1 mg g−1 potassium, 40.5–64.2 mg kg−1 Zn, 17.1–37.3 mg kg−1 Cu, 1174–1325 mg kg−1 Mg, 20.1–29.1 mg kg−1 Mn, 129–265 mg kg−1 Fe, 779–835 mg kg−1 Ca), 6.3%–11.3% total sugars, 7.3–14.9 °Brix total soluble solids, 2.1–7.3% reducing sugars, 10.4–18.1% crude protein, 3.6–4.4% crude fiber and 5.6–16.7 mg (100 g)‐1 on various concentration of GB enrich cotton waste. Cotton waste enriched with GB significantly affected nutritional profile of king oyster mushroom.

CONCLUSION

The results revealed that GB enriched cotton waste can be used as an innovative substrate to enhance the yield and quality of king oyster mushroom.
