Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the submerged culture conditions and nutritional requirments for the production of mycelial biomass and exopolysaccharides (EPS) by medicinal mushroom Phellinus baumii.
METHODThe carbon sources, nitrogen sources, inoculum volume, initial pH and temperature were investigated based on shake flask cultures, respectively.
RESULTThe glucose was the most suitable carbon source for both mycelial biomass and EPS production, soy peptone was favorable nitrogen sources for both mycelial biomass and EPS production. The optimal inoculum volume, initial pH and temperature for both mycelial growth and EPS production were 6%, 6.0 and 28 degrees C, respectively.
CONCLUSIONThe study obtained basic datas for large-scale submerged culture of P. baumii.
