Mycelial growth experiments were carried out on solid media. The best mycelial extension was recorded in total dark conditions, followed by 12 h alternating light/dark and total light, in respective order. This fungus grew well on substrate containing 65% moisture. Of the eight amino acids tested, the best growth (61.73 mm, after two-week incubation) was supported by glutamic acid, followed by proline and alanine. Six vitamin sources were used and riboflavin was the most utilizable (56.57mm). CaSO 4 was found to be the most favorable mineral source for growth (67.80 mm).Read More
