EVALUATION OF CULTURE MEDIA, PH AND TEMPERATURE FOR MYCELIAL GROWTH OF DIFFERENT STRAINS OF PLEUROTUS SP.

The several fungi are edible mushrooms and are saprophytic basidiomycetes, which have been successfully cultivated at commercial level worldwide using lignocellulose wastes as substrates for their cultivation. In the present investigation that were the studies of Evaluation of Culture Media, pH and Temperature for Mycelial Growth of different Strains (PL-1, PL-2, PL-3, Psc-1 and Psc-2) of Pleurotus sp. Five culture media were tested for the mycelial growth and measured the mycelia growth on YPDA of five strains PL-1, PL-2, PL-3, Psc-1 and Psc-2 were found better growth observed after 8 day. The evaluation  of different pH were tested for the mycelial growth and measured the mycelial growth 8 pH  of five strains PL-1, PL-2, PL-3, Psc-1 and Psc-2 were found better growth observed after 8 days. The growth of mycelial in 7pH was good performance in all strains of Pleurotus sp. followed by 9 pH. Mycelial growth was much slow on 6 pH. The effect of different temperature was evaluated on mycelia growth of strains of Pleurotus sp. Mycelial growth of five strains on 25ÚC was obtained fast and better growth in 8 days, followed by growth of mycelial at 30ºC and 20ÚC were good performance in all strains of Pleurotus sp. and the mycelial growth was much slow on 15ÚC.
