Abstract

The influence of different medium components (glucose, sucrose, and fructose) on the growth of different Ganoderma isolates and species was investigated using mixture design. Ten sugar combinations based on three simple sugars were generated with two different concentrations, namely 3.3% and 16.7%, which represented low and high sugar levels, respectively, adjusted to pH 5 and 8. Growth of the Ganoderma isolates (two G. boninense from oil palm, one Ganoderma species from coconut palm, G. lingzhi, and G. australe from tower tree) was faster at pH 8. Ganoderma lingzhi proliferated at the slowest rate compared to all other tested Ganoderma species in all the media studied. Ganoderma boninense isolates from oil palm grew at the fastest rate. Differences in sugar preference based on Ganoderma mycelial growth rate could be an additional taxonomic parameter for separating G. boninense from other Ganoderma species. Overall, it was illustrated that mixture design of media can be used to evaluate fungal growth on media with various combinations of sugar or other nutrient/chemical component.
