The optimum pH and temperature for mycelial growth were from pH 6.0 to 6.5 and 25 to , and from pH 5.0 to 6.5 and in A. bitorquis and P. ostreatus, respectively. Among the carbon and nitrogen sources, glucose, starch, and peptone showed the good result for the mycelial growth of A. bitorquis, and glucose, fructose, starch and peptone were good for the mycelial growth of P. ostreatus. The yield of mycelium decreased under lower or higher C/N ratio. Also, at the same C/N ratio, the higher the concentration of glucose and peptone, the more the yield was increased. Among various vitamins thiamine, Ca-pantothenate and folic acid were suitable for the mycelial growth of A. bitorquis, and thiamine, folic acid and inositol for the mycelial growth of P. ostreatus. Although pH, total nitrogen and glucose contents of media decreased gradually during culture period the yield of mycelium increased.Read More
