Upload NowThe following points highlight the two methods used for measuring the growth in fungi. The methods are: 1. Linear Method (Agar Plate) 2. Mycelial Dry Weight. 1. Linear Method (Agar Plate): Principle: Fungal inoculum kept in the centre of the agar plate will grow radially and the rate of growth can be measured each 24 […]

In this article we will discuss about the fermentation of penicillin. Requirements: 1. Starter cultures on M2 Agar. 2. M2 agar (pH 7.0): 3. Seed medium: 4. Fermentation medium: Dissolve 1.5 g of phenyl acetic acid in warm distilled water. Adjust pH to 7 and make up the volume to 100 ml. Add 1 […]
Ectomycorrhizal Inoculum Production | Biotechnology
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about the requirements and procedure for ectomycorrhizal inoculum production. Ectomycorrhizae are found associated with forest trees like Pinus, Fagus, Populus, etc. Unlike VAM fungi, these mostly belong to higher fungi like Tuber (Ascomycotina), Amanita, Boletus, Pisolithus (Basidiomycotina), etc. Requirements: a. Malt agar medium. b. Fruit bodies/fungal sheath/sclerotia. c. Inoculating […]
