Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The document has a contribution that is related to the knowledge of the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus in non-conventional substrates.

Basic results of this type of projects are presented, and what can stand out is the evaluation of enzymes, nutritional components and metals associated with the substrates.

Some recommendations are made:

a) Check the writing of scientific names throughout the document, which are poorly written and without italics.

b) There are missing or extra spaces between the words. So the context is not understood.

c) The summary requires further explanation of the methodology

d) The introduction should include more information about the numerous substrates in which Pleurotus has been grown, in addition to justifying the importance of the grasses used and incorporating ecological and biological data about them.

e) There is no deep approach to the problem and the justification is very superficial.

f) The results require a deeper review and the discussion of them is very superficial. It is necessary to deepen the comparison of the data obtained and its comparison with the bibliography.

g) The conclusions must be rewritten and shown to be more forceful.

Comment 1: The document has a contribution that is related to the knowledge of the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus in non-conventional substrates.

Response 1: Based on this comment we have changed the title of the article to this title Evaluation of the influence of varied Juncao grass substrates on physiological and enzymatic reactions of Pleurotus ostreatus which corresponds to the content of the article.Thank you for pointing this out. We agree with this comment. The change can be found on the first page line 1,2.

There is additional information: supplemented with 20% of the wheat brain,1% coffee grounded,1%of gypsum, and 1%of lime (Found in the abstract methodology part on the first page  lines 13,14,15), Improved writing in the line 

Comment 2:  a)Check the writing of scientific names throughout the document, which is poorly written and without italics. b) There are missing or extra spaces between the words. So the context is not understood.

Response2  a,b, All typo errors and scientific names were written in Italics in the document. Thank you for pointing this out. We agree with this comment.

Comment 3: The summary requires further explanation of the methodology

Response 3: The summary was refined. 

Comment 4 The introduction should include more information about the numerous substrates in which Pleurotus has been grown, in addition to justifying the importance of the grasses used and incorporating ecological and biological data about them.

Response 4: The introduction was updated based on these comments.Thank you for pointing this out. We agree with this comment.

Comment 5: The results require a deeper review and their discussion is very superficial. It is necessary to deepen the comparison of the data obtained and its comparison with the bibliography.

Response 5: We have compared the data results and bibliography and we have revised it. Thank you for pointing this out. We agree with this comment.

Comment 6: The conclusions must be rewritten and shown to be more forceful.

Response 6: The conclusion part was refined based on the reviewer's comments. Thank you for pointing this out. We agree with this comment.
