Efficient exopolysaccharaide production by pleurotus ostreatus in submerged culture
Bioactive compounds, isolated from medicinal mushroom, perform various therapeutic properties. Nowadays, Pleurotus ostreatus is the third largest commercially produced mushroom due to its rich nutrition and medicinal property. Recently, it have been reported that this mushroom can produce highly eff...

Bioactive compounds, isolated from medicinal mushroom, perform various therapeutic properties. Nowadays, Pleurotus ostreatus is the third largest commercially produced mushroom due to its rich nutrition and medicinal property. Recently, it have been reported that this mushroom can produce highly efficient immunomodulator exopolysaccharide (pleuran) in both solid state and submerged culture. Production of exopolysaccharide (EPS) in submerged culture not only reduces the production time, but also reduces many downstream steps for polysaccharides extraction and purification. In the present work, production of EPS is conducted during submerged cultivation of P. ostreatus in shake flask and in bioreactor cultures. Also the effect of C:N ratio on EPS production and cell morphology was studied. In shake flask culture, maximal polysaccharide produced was 1.25 g/L after 13 days of cultivation.
