Description

Culture solution for culturing polyporous fungus mycelial balls and method thereof

The present invention relates to a method for culturing fungi, in particular to a culture solution and method for culturing polyporous fungus mycelial balls.

Many species of polypores have a variety of effective substances (such as: triterpenoids, phenolic compounds, polyketides, polysaccharides and sterols, etc.) and have medicinal value (such as: Ganoderma lucidum, Yunzhi, Antrodia camphorata, Poria, etc.). The above-mentioned effective substances can exist not only in the fruit body, but also in the mycelium, so the mycelium also has medicinal value.

According to the type of medium, the methods of culturing medicinal fungi can be roughly divided into two categories: solid-state fermentation and liquid fermentation. Among them, solid-state fermentation is mostly used to produce fruiting bodies, and liquid culture is mostly used to produce mycelium. Compared with solid fermentation, the conditions of liquid fermentation are easier to control, and the production cycle of mycelium is shorter than that of fruiting bodies, so liquid culture has the potential for large-scale production.

According to the composition of the culture medium and the culture method, the mycelium can form a filamentous or spherical shape in the culture medium, and the shape of the mycelium can affect the total yield. Specifically, filamentous mycelium increases the viscosity and non-Newtonian rheology of the culture medium, causing poor mass transfer (such as oxygen or temperature transfer), resulting in decreased yield. On the contrary, under the condition of low density, spherical mycelium (pellets) does not have the above problems, so by adjusting the culture method, the shape of the mycelium can be changed, thereby increasing the total yield of mycelium.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for culturing mycelial balls to improve the total yield of mycelium.

Therefore, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for culturing mycelial balls, which is to add non-hydrolyzed animal protein to the culture solution to increase the number and biomass of the mycelial balls.

According to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the polypore bacteria may include, but are not limited to, Fomitopsis spp. and Ganoderma spp.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the liquid fermentation step can be, for example, 23°C to 29°C, and the rotational speed of the liquid fermentation step can be, for example, 100 rpm to 150 rpm.

Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a culture solution for culturing mycelial balls, which can be applied to the above-mentioned method for culturing mycelial balls.

According to the above aspect of the present invention, a culture solution for culturing mycelial balls is provided, which is characterized in that the potato dextrose culture solution (PDB) contains less than or equal to 1 wt% of non-hydrolyzed animal protein.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the culture medium may optionally contain 0.25 wt % to 0.75 wt % of yeast extract.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the non-hydrolyzed animal protein can be derived from egg yolk, for example.

The "mycelium" is a collection of hyphae obtained by culturing multicellular fungi through a liquid fermentation step. The shape of the mycelium is variable, it can be a filamentous mycelium with freely dispersed mycelium, or a spherical mycelium with a highly entangled mycelium (ie, mycelium ball). Cell wall composition, strain size, growth rate, carbon/nitrogen ratio of the medium, pH, temperature, ion concentration, and shear force.

The "polypore" refers to a group of basidiomycetes with basidiomycetes growing in the pore-shaped fruit layer. Generally speaking, the fruiting body of Polyporus is harder and less prone to spoilage, hence the common name of Hard Mushroom.

Experiments have confirmed that non-hydrolyzed animal protein can effectively increase the number and biomass of mycelial balls, thereby increasing the total yield of mycelium. The number and biomass of mycelial balls increase with the increase of the content of non-hydrolyzed animal protein. However, if the content of non-hydrolyzed animal protein is greater than 1 weight percent (wt%), not only the number and biomass of mycelial balls cannot be increased, but also pollution may be caused. In one embodiment, the content of non-hydrolyzed animal protein in PDB is 0.25 wt%.

In one embodiment, the above-mentioned culture medium may optionally contain yeast extract. The amount of yeast extract used is not limited, and can be, for example, 0.25 wt% to 0.75 wt%.

In one embodiment, before the liquid fermentation step, it may optionally include heat-inactivating the culture medium.
