Effects of Exogenous Substances on Growth of Polyporus umbellatus Mycelium and Its Polysaccharide Content / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effects of diverse exogenous substances at different concentrations on the growth of<italic> Polyporus umbellatus</italic> mycelium and polysaccharide content and screen out the optimal growth condition for <italic>P. umbellatus</italic> mycelium， so as to provide a reference for its large-scale artificial cultivation. Method:<italic>P. umbellatus</italic> mycelium was cultured in media containing different exogenous substances using the method for fungal culturing in plate. The growth rate of the mycelium was judged by the colony diameter and the polysaccharide content was determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. Result:The high-dose cyclic adenosine monophosphate， 6-benzyl aminopurine （6-BA）， gibberellic acid （GA）， 2，4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （2，4-D）， vitamin （V） B₁， VB₃， VB₆， VB₉， and VB₁₂ all promoted the growth of <italic>P. umbellatus</italic> mycelium and elevated polysaccharides content. By contrast， indole acetic acid （IAA）， VC， and VB₂ inhibited its growth， with the most obvious inhibition detected in the high-dose VC group. IAA and VB₂ both reduced the polysaccharide content， whereas the high-dose VC significantly increased the polysaccharide content. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate， 6-BA， GA， 2，4-D， VB₁， VB₃， VB₆， VB₉， and VB₁₂ at the concentrations of 2 mmol·L^-1， 6 mg·L^-1， 15 mg·L^-1， 2 mg·L^-1， 4 mg·L^-1， 2 mg·L^-1， 4 mg·L^-1， 6 mg·L^-1， and 10 mg·L^-1， respectively， contributed to the growth of <italic>P. umbellatus</italic> mycelium<italic> </italic>and polysaccharide accumulation. Conclusion:The growth of <italic>P. umbellatus </italic>mycelium and polysaccharide accumulation can be regulated by adding exogenous substances to the culture medium.
