Abstract

Culture maturity assessment can be used to control fruiting body flush timing. Culture maturity of sawdust-based substrate was evaluated by using oak mushroom, (Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler). The influence of substrate water potential (${\psi}$) on the growth and fruiting of three genotypes of L. edodes was also investigated. Glucosamine content revealed a peak at the fruiting body senescent stage. Glucosamine increased steadily to the sporophore senescent stage, and sharply declined at crop treatment. Lipid phosphate and ergosterol contents peaked at pinning and button break stages, respectively. Therefore lipid phosphate and ergosterol contents would be considered as the convenient measurement for judging culture maturity and fruiting potentials. The substrate pH values before inoculation and on the fruiting stage were varied from 6.3 to 4.0. This pH changes were detected as changes in color from bluish purple to yellow by direct bromphenol blue(BPB) spraying, and shown a good correlation with fruit body yield of the 1 st flush. Concerning water potential of the cultures, a slight reduction of water potential, -0.5MPa, stimulated mycelial and colony growths on liquid, agar and sawdust-based substrates. The water potential of well-colonized matured substrate was -0.7MPa and -4.0MPa, before and after the fruiting, respectively. Excellent water providing capacity (higher ${\psi}$) is expected to well-matured cultures with a high density of mycelial colonization. Also, the substrate water potential significantly affected by the interaction between genotypes and spawn run time.

본 연구는 표고의 톱밥재배시 재배배지의 숙도, 자실체 발생단계 및 버섯생산 수량을 정량화하고 예측하고자 실시하였다. 배지의 성숙도는 자실체 발생시기를 결정하는데 매우 유용한 지표로서, 균주, 영양생장기간, 여러 가지 효소의 활성이 관여하며, 배지내의 성분변화, pH 변화 및 수분포텐셜 등이 영향한다. 자실체발생 초기에 배지내의 glucosamine 의 함량이 최고치를 나타냈으며, 자실체 발생후 신속히 감소하였다. lipid phosphate 및 ergosterol 함량도 버섯원기 형성 시에 높은 값을 보였으며, 자실체 발생직전 최고값에 달하였다. 따라서 lipid phosphate 및 ergosterol 함량이 배지의 숙도 및 자실체형성을 예측하는 주요수단으로 사용될 수 있다. 기질내의 pH는 종균접종전 6.3으로부터 자실체형성단계에서 4.0으로 변화하였으며, pH측정으로 자실체수량을 예측할 수 있었는데, 이러한 pH를 bromphenol blue(BPB)의 스프레이로 간단히 측정할 수 있었다. 아울러 기질의 수분포텐셜과 관련하여, -0.5MPa 정도의 수분포텐셜감소가 생장 및 자실체형성에 크게 영향하였으며, 우수한 숙도외 버섯재배 기질이 가지는 수분포텐셜은 버섯발생 전후 각각 -0.7MPa, -4.0MPa 였다. 높은 수분포텐셜은 고밀도의 균체콜로니를 만들 수 있었으며 균주 및 배양기간중의 상호작용이 기질의 수분포텐셜에 현저히 영향하였다.
