Popis: The conditions of polysaccharide production by the fungus Ganoderma lucidum were optimized. The maximal yield of endopolysaccharides and exopolysaccharides was observed at 25–30°C, initial pH of culture medium 4.0–6.0, and at a C:N ratio of ∼18:1 and 25:1, respectively. The greatest yield of mycelium was reached at a more intensive aeration, and the maximal yield of polysaccharides was observed at a less intensive aeration. The optimal ratio between fungus growth and polysaccharide production was observed at 100 rpm and an aeration of 1.0– 1.5 1/1 medium·min.
