Incorporation of Palm Oil for the Enhancement of Biomass and Polysaccharides Production Through Submerged Fermentation From Locally Isolated Pleurotus Sp. Mycelium.

Abstract

Mushroom is known to be a fungal growth which is in the form of filaments called as hyphae that can only be seen through microscope; with time, these hyphae grow into long network that are known as mycelium [1,2]. Mushrooms

High-Molecular-Weight Exopolysaccharides Production from Tuber borchii Cultivated by Submerged Fermentation

“…Similar to our study, the C/N ratio was important for the biomass and polysaccharides production from mushroom Pleurotus sp. A C/N ratio of 80:1 yielded enhanced mycelial biomass and IPS and EPS production of 20.1 g/L, 11.89 ± 1.15 mg/mL, and 3.38 ± 1.21 mg/mL, respectively [25].…”

“…mushroom grown in submerged fermentation [25]. It was observed that the maximum mycelium dry weight was observed in the presence of glucose; however, the highest amount of EPS and IPS was obtained in the presence of sucrose [25]. In another study, although sucrose's presence as the carbon source resulted in increased biomass and IPS production from Tuber sinense in submerged fermentation, the maximum EPS was produced in the presence of lactose, even with poor cell growth [23].…”

“…A study reported the use of different carbon sources (glucose, sucrose, lactose, and fructose) to assess the impact of these sources on the mycelial dry weight and EPS and IPS production from Pleurotus sp. mushroom grown in submerged fermentation [25]. It was observed that the maximum mycelium dry weight was observed in the presence of glucose; however, the highest amount of EPS and IPS was obtained in the presence of sucrose [25].…”

“…Similarly, the mycelium dry weight (27.3 ± 2.1 g/L) was maximum when yeast extract was present in the medium, whereas meat extract produced the maximum EPS (24.1 ± 0.8 mg/mL) and IPS (5.23 ± 0.07 mg/mL) amount when Pleurotus sp. was grown in submerged fermentation using these nitrogen sources [25].…”
