This study was carried out to determine the optimum culture conditions for Phellinus spp. known as white rot fungi showing anti-cancer activity. The optimum solid medium for mycelial growth at was potato dextrose agar medium and optimum pH range was , while all species showed reduced or no growth at pH 4.0. Most species showed good growth at . Out of 10 species of Phellinus examined, P. biscuspidatus was the best growing fungus in the range of pH based on mycelial density. Three species such as P. biscuspidatus, P. johnsonianus and P. lloydii could be grouped in mesophile fungi, showing optimum temperature. |
