The effect of environmental condition to the mycelial browning of Lentinula edodes (Berkeley) Sing. during sawdust bag cultivation

환경조건이 표고톱밥배지의 갈변에 미치는 영향

Recently sawdust cultivation of Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes ) is getting increased because log cultivation is getting difficult to get oak logs. It is important to make mycelia browning on the substrate surface in sawdust cultivation. This browned surface plays an important role like as artificial bark of the oak log, which protects the other pests and suppresses water evaporation in the substrate. The period for mycelia browning is so long that the sawdust cultivation of Shiitake mushroom can not spread well into the mushroom farms. In this article we would like to discuss about the effect of environmental condition to the mycelial browning during sawdust bag cultivation for the To reduce the period required for browning of substrates, sawdust substrates was illuminated light with difference intensity. One hundred Lux light illumination was needed for producing normal yield of fruit body but fruit body yield was low and abnormally shaped fruit body was produced when cultured under the dark condition of incubation. Illumination over 200lux is necessary for the successful browning of substrates during incubation. Optimum incubation temperature for browning of substrates and fruiting was $25^{\circ}C$. The treatment of cotton plug with different size to identify the effect of aeration on the browning of substrates and fruiting showed rapid mycelial growth and reduced the periods for browning as the size of cotton plug was bigger. However, yield of fruit body was the highest at 16mm diameter cotton plug as compared to 20mm of that. $CO_2$ content in vessel of substrates was low as the size of cotton plug was bigger during incubation. $CO_2$ content during incubation of substrate was highest in periods between 8 week and 14 week after inoculation of shiitake when substrate was changed color into brown. $C_2H_4$ content in vessel with substrates was highest at 8mm diameter cotton plug and it was increased by order of 12, 16, 20, 0, 4 mm diameter cotton plug during substrate incubation. Sawdust substrate was soaked in cold water for different time to identify soaking effect of sawdust substrate on fruit body yield and activities of enzymes in these substrates were investigated. The fruit body yield was increased up to 40% by soaking substrates in comparison with unsoaked substrates. The soaked substrates showed 165, 175g/1,000ml at treatment of 4 and 15 hours, respectively. Cellulose activities in soaked substrates were not changed with soaking time, but activities of laccase, lignin degradation enzyme, were drastically increased up to 4 times in comparison with unsoaked substrates.

표고 톱밥배지의 갈변을 촉진시키기 위하여 광을 조사한 결과 100Lux 이상의 광처리에서 원하는 수량을 얻을 수 있었으며 암상태에서의 자실체의 발생은 기형버섯율이 높았으며 수량도 저조하였다. 그러나 갈변은 200 Lux이상의 광에서 정상적으로 이루어졌으며 가장 빨리 갈변이 되기 시작하였다. 온도별 처리에서는 $25^{\circ}C$의 배양온도를 유지하여 배양한 것이 갈변시작일도 가장 빨랐고 갈변도 가장 많이 진행되었으며 수량과 개체중량도 가장 높았으며 정상적인 수량을 나타낸 처리 중 기형버섯의 발생량도 가장 적었다. 배지내에 통기성이 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 솜마개의 크기를 달리하여 처리한 결과 마개의 크기가 클수록 균사의 생장량도 빨랐으며 갈변이 이루어지는 시기도 빨랐다. 그러나 자실체의 수량은 솜마개의 직경이 16mm일 때 가장 높았으며 마개가 클수록 배지내의 $CO_2$함량은 낮았으며 배양기간 중 갈변이 진행되는 8주에서 14주 사이에서 $CO_2$함량이 가장 높았다. 배양기간 중 $C_2H_4$함량은 8mm의 솜마개에서 가장 많이 발생하였으며 12, 16, 20, 0, 4mm의 솜마개으로 발생하였다. $C_2H_4$함량도 $CO_2$함량과 같이 8주에서 14주사이의 배양기간에서 가장 높았다. 침수시간에 따른 자실체의 발생효과를 구명하기 위하여 침수시간별로 자실체의 수량과 효소들의 활성을 조사하였다. 침수를 하지 않은 배지는 수량이 침수를 한 배지에 비하여 약 40%가 감소하였다. 침수시간은 4시간과 15시간 침수한 것이 각각 165g/1000ml, 175g/1000ml 이었다. 침수시 cellulose분해효소는 침수에 따른 변화가 없으나 lignin 분해효소인 laccase는 침수시간에 따라 약 4 배정도까지 효소의 활력이 증가되었다.
