Triterpenes and Polysaccharide Contents of Liquid-Culturing mycelium of different Ganoderma lucidum

Ten strains of Ganoderma lucidum wrer selected out of nineteen strains from different countries and regions for liquid culturing on the basis of their growth rate.Tritepenes and polysaccharide contents in their mycelium wrer also determined.The result showed that,there were some difference between different strains,among which,G.lucidum HC2,G.lucidum RB and G.lucidum NH.were higher in polysaccharide contents,while G.lucidum HG,G.lucidum 0772 and G.lucidum 0771 were higher in triterpenes contents.However,there was no distinction correlation between polysaccharide and triterpenes contents.These result provided the theoretical basis for the select of good strains.
