Quantitative and morphologic analysis on exopolysaccharide and biomass production from a truffle endophytic fungus Hypocreales sp. NCHU01

In this study, exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced from Hypocreales sp. NCHU01 was carried out in the submerged cultivation. To find the optimal conditions, factors such as carbon and nitrogen source concentrations, pH, temperature, magnesium ion, and potassium ion levels were considered. The results showed that the optimal conditions were as follows: sucrose, yeast extract, magnesium sulfate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate were 10.6 g/L, 10.92...
