Abstract
To facilitate Ganoderma lucidum submerged cultivation and achieve high productivity, four fine powder solid substrates incorporated with different nitrogen-rich supplements were utilized to grow the fungus and as solid seed for its submerged culture. Of the four solid seeds, the soybean meal solid seed gave the highest biomass (10.73 g/L) and exopolysaccharide (EPS) (1.22 g/L), higher than those (8.36 g/L biomass and 0.44 g/L EPS) obtained with mycelial liquid seed. The optimal level of soybean meal supplementation was 20% (w/w) for production of the solid seed. Following single factor experiments, levels of three selected process variables were optimized as: the moisture content of solid seed, 70%; inoculum size, 0.8 g/flask; and rotary speed, 160 rpm. These conditions were validated experimentally with improved EPS yield of 1.33 g/L. The developed solid seed can be conveniently used for G. lucidum submerged culture with improved EPS productivity.
