Mycelial growth of Ganodermalucidum on solidand liquid media

The composition of media had significant effect on mycelial growth of G. lucidum strains. The highest mycelial growth was observed with malt extract agar medium, followed by sugarcane bagasse extract agar medium. Among the liquid media, malt extract broth proved to be best medium for mycelial growth, followed by sugarcane bagasse extract broth, potato dextrose broth, sawdust extract broth and maize straw extract broth.
