P. Karst. (Higher Basidiomycetes), by Submerged Cultivation JF International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms JO IJM YR 2013 FD 2013-03-08 VO 15 IS 1 SP 81 OP 90 K1 medicinal mushrooms K1 Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom K1 Ganoderma lucidum K1 submerged cultivation K1 batch cultivation K1 fed-batch cultivation K1 fungal biomass K1 polysaccharide production AB Submerged batch and repeated fed-batch cultivation techniques were used for mycelia cultivation and polysaccharide production of the Lingzhi or Reishi medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum. Although most publications use various Asiatic G. lucidum strains, the growth of the strain Ga.l 4 (Biotechnical Faculty Strain Collection, Ljubljana, Slovenia), originally isolated from the Slovenian forest, is much faster. The results between the batch and repeated fed-batch cultivation are compared with the polysaccharide production in batch cultivation. From the aspect of biomass production, the best results were obtained in repeated fed-batch after 44 days, where 12.4 g/L of dry fungal biomass was obtained.
