Cultural characteristics of mycelia of Ganoderma gibbosum / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

To study the cultural characteristics of mycelia of Ganoderma gibbosum, a medicinal fungus used in China. The growth rate and biomass of G. gibbosum mycelia were measured under different temperature, lightning carbon and nitrogen sources conditions. It showed that the optimal growth temperature for mycelia was 25 degrees C. Darkness was beneficial for mycelium growth. The initial pH 5.5 was suitable. The sucrose was the best carbon source and yeast extract the best nitrogen source, the optimal carbon-nitrogen ratio 602. These conclusions will offer references for further artificial cultivation and liquid fermentation.
