Optimization of liquid culture condition and functional activities of Ganoderma lucidum (W. Curt. Fr.) P.Karst
(2019) Arthur Grisha C. Rivera
Understanding the physiology of Gamoderma lucidum in the development of liquid culture technology is crucial in terms of cultivation, consumption and potential drug discovery. Hence, this study was conducted to provide baseline information regarding to its nutritional and physiological requirement, mycochemical profile, radical scavenging activity, and total phenolic content. Results show that G. lucidum has a broad nutritional and physiological requirement although thrive highest in coconut medium, pH 5, room temperature (28°C), continuous dark in both agitated and static condition. Both mycelia from static and agitated media produced essential oils, sugars, phenols, anthraquinones, anthrones, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids and coumarins. Production of triterpenes and fatty acids in mycelial was stimulated by agitated condition. On the other hand, the mycelial mat produced in agitated condition exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity (43.21%) and highest total phenolic content (50.88 mg/g GAE sample).
