ABSTRACT

The production of biomass, endo- and exopolysaccharides, lipids, protein, polyphenols, and amino and fatty acids of Ganoderma lucidum strains on different nutrient media was investigated. It was demonstrated that the content of endo- and exopolysaccharides was higher on beer wort medium than on glucose–peptone medium. Lactose, starch, cellulose, glucose, and xylose are good carbon sources for the biosynthesis of biomass and endopolysaccharides of G. lucidum strains.
