| Abstract | Effects of different carbon sources on growth and production of antifungal agent(s) by Gymnopilus spectabilis were investigated. Different carbon sources including; Glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, manitol and sucrose at the concentration of 10 g/l and slow releasing carbon sources including malt extract and soluble starch at the concentration of 2g/l were used. Inhibition of spore germination of Aspergillus niger was used to test antifungal activity. The results showed that the highest activity (90% inhibition of spore germination) and biomass concentration (2.4 g/l) were obtained when glucose was used as carbon source. Other media with different carbon sources showed antifungal activity ranging from 30% to 70% inhibition of spore germination. Combination of glucose with malt extract as a slow releasing carbon source was also increased activity to 100% inhibition. | en |
