본 연구에서는 균사의 액체 배양 특성 조사를 위하여 꽃송이버섯 균주 KGFS08과 KFRI746를 선발하였다. 균사생장을 위한 우수 배지는 KTM 배지로 조사되었으며, 탄소원과 질소원은 각각 3% (w/v) starch와 0.3% (w/v) tryptone, 비타민은 folic acid로 나타났다. 따라서 액체 배양 최적 조건은 STK 배지[3% (w/v) starch, 0.3% (w/v) tryptone, 0.1% (w/v) KH₂PO₄, 0.1% (w/v) folic acid], pH는 4.0~5.0으로 확인되었다.
The characteristics of mycelium growth of Sparassis crispa KGFS08 and KFRI746 in liquid culture were investigated. The optimum growth of the mycelium of S. crispa was observed in the KTM medium. The best carbon source was starch. In terms of nitrogen sources, tryptone affected mycelial growth in the liquid culture. The optimal culture conditions were pH 4.0-5.0 in STK medium [3% (w/v) starch, 0.3% (w/v) tryptone, 0.1% (w/v) KH₂PO₄, and 0.1% (w/v) folic acid].
