Medium compositions effects on growth kinetics of cordyceps militaris cells using agar plate method

Cordyceps militaris is one of the well described mushrooms and has been extensively used in Traditional Chinese Complementary Medicine (TCCM) since many centuries. It has been cultivated naturally or in submerged culture using different types of media. Fungal mycelia contain adenosine, cordycepin, a...

In this study, optimization of agar cultivation medium for rapid cell growth using modified potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium culture supplemented with specific amount of malt extract (ME) together with yeast extract (YE) was investigated.
