Analysis of exopolysaccharide production patterns of Cordyceps militaris under various light-emitting diodes

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with varying light wavelengths (blue, green, yellow, red and white) were used to study the effects of light source on the biomass and exopolysaccharide (EPS) production of Cordyceps militaris. In a solid-state culture, green and red light sources gave the best hyphal growth. Logistic rate equations were used to calculate the kinetic behavior of the biomass growth and EPS production of a submerged culture under...
