Exopolysaccharide Production by Some Mushroom Fungi in Wheat Flour Liquid Culture Medium in Juniper in Agricultural Research & Technology: Open Access Journal (ARTOAJ)

Polysaccharide production at extracellular as well as intracellular level in wheat flour medium by five mushroom mycelial liquid cultures of R. lepida, R. brevipes, R. nigricans, L. tuberregium and C. indica was evaluated in the present study. All strains are found to produce both extra- and intra-cellular polysaccharides efficiently in wheat flour broth medium at pH 6.0. Among all the strains, R. lepida and L. tuberregium are found to be potent producer of exopolysaccharide i.e 440 mg/gm and 431 mg/gm of crude extract. C. indica followed by R. lepida are the best for intracellular polysaccharide production and R. brevipes contributed least.
