Abstract
Artomyces microspora is a genus of coral fungi from the family Auriscalpiaceae that have sporophores which are clavarioid, profusely and pyxidately branched, and devoid of a conspicuous stipe. These fungi can be found in summer and fall. This study aimed to decipher fundamental information regarding optimal growth conditions of Artomyces microsporus mycelia, including pH, temperature, carbon sources, and nitrogen sources. Based on the assessment of colony diameter and mycelial density, the optimal culture medium, temperature, and pH for mycelial growth were found to be PDA, 25 ℃, and pH 5.0, respectively. Furthermore, the study revealed that the optimal carbon and nitrogen sources for mycelial growth were 1% soluble starch and 2% malt extract, respectively. The other suitable inorganic nitrogen sources were deemed to be 0.1% NH4H4PO4 and 0.1% aspartic acid.
