Media Composition Influences the Ability of Ganoderma lucidum Mycelium to Absorb Selenium

摘要

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of media composition (potato dextrose medium and malt medium) on the ability of mycelium to absorb selenium from Na_2SeO_3. Selenium (Se) absorption and retention by mycelium was better on potato dextrose medium (PDM) compared to malt medium (MM), except at a Se concentration of 1.3 mg/l, where it was better in MM. Maximum Se concentrations in mycelium were obtained when 1.0 and 1.3 mg/l Se was added to PDM and MM, respectively.
