Abstract
This study aimed to screen a highest hispidin production of strain from 12 strains of Phellinus, and to evaluate the effects of liquid spawn conditions and grain medium on this strain’s hispidin production levels after solid-state fermentation. Results showed that the P. linteus 04 led to the highest hispidin production, this strain was then selected to elucidate the optimal liquid spawn conditions and grain medium for hispidin production. Various liquid spawn conditions were evaluated, and the highest hispidin yield, specific productivity of hispidin, and total content of hispidin were found to be optimal at 1 week of liquid spawn age, cultured with potato dextrose borth, and using 10 % inoculum rate, with each condition resulting to 0.350, 0.325, and 0.328 mg/g dry weight of mycelium, 0.352, 0.251, and 0.249 µg/mg week− 1 specific productivity, 57.90, 60.23, and 61.77 mg/kg dry weight of brown rice medium, respectively. These liquid spawn conditions were then used to determine the appropriate grain medium for hispidin production. The highest hispidin yield and total content of hispidin were observed in pearl barley which resulted in 1.107 mg/g dry weight of mycelium and 199.76 mg/kg dry weight of pearl barley, which led to results that were 4.73-fold and 5.35-fold higher than those of control (brown rice medium). Overall, this study shows that P. linteus hispidin production can be enhanced by solid-state fermentation using optimal liquid spawn conditions and the appropriate grain medium.
