Abstract
Mycelia ofTricholoma bakamatsutake isolate No. 4 grew at temperatures ranging from 10 to 30°C, and the optimum was around 25°C. In well-buffered media of initial pH 5.0 and 6.0, No. 4 mycelia secreted gluconic acid and lowered medium pH. Mycelial growth then accelerated slightly; and with the exhaustion of glucose, growth and secretion of gluconic acid stopped. In 10 different media of initial pH 4.0–7.0, No. 4 mycelia showed higher gluconic acid secretion with higher initial pH. No. 4 mycelial grew best in pH 5.0 media, in which gluconic acid secretion was low. Mycelia of 29 isolates including No. 4 grew better in the media in which less glucose, total carbon and total nitrogen remained, and almost all isolates secreted gluconic acid. Most of the 29 isolates showed irregular colony shapes with rough mycelial fronts, brown pigmentation and aerial hypha on colony surfaces, and brown pigmentation of media under colonies. Dissimilarities were calculated with coded morphological characters on colonies, and similarity between isolates was found not to correlate with proximity of origin. Chlamydospores were observed on every colony of the 29 isolates. Chlamydospores were present on colonies of No. 4, reaching to 2 mm from the mycelial front, where brown pigmentation had not yet developed, and the numbers of chlamydospores incresed with mycelial aging.
