| Research Abstract |
The effects of thiamin on vegetative mycelial growth and fruit body formation of Lentinula edodes were investigated in basal peptone-glucose liquid media in relation to the uptake of thiamin. Thiamin is essential for fruit body formation, and the minimum requirements for thiamin are estimated to be approximately 10 mug/L.The vegetative mycelial growth was little influenced by the addition of thiamin in the range of 0-1.5mg/L.While the mycelia was successively transferred to fresh peptone-glucose-agar media. three times, the repression of mycelial growth was not significant. Even in cases using vitamin-free casamino acid or glutamic acid as a nitrogen source instead of peptone, a thiamin deficiency for mycelial growth did not occur as a result of transferring the mycelia to fresh media. Almost of all the thiamin contained in the media was taken and accumulated in the mycelia during the first 3 weeks of a 9-week incubation. These results suggested that only trace amounts of thiamin are required for the vegetative mycelial growth of Lentinula edodes. Because Lentinula edodes requires approximately 10 mug/L thiamin for fruiting, all the thiamin added to the basal media must be used for fruit body formation.
