Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of preservation of fungal strains, and particularly to a method for preserving Boletus aereus strains and a preservation medium. Background Art
[0002] The quality of fungal strains is directly related to the yield and quality of edible mushroom cultivation, and even affects the success or failure of production. The Boletus aereus strain is one of the key links in its artificial cultivation and bionic cultivation. Boletus aereus belongs to thermophilic basidiomycetes, and its mycelium is very sensitive to low temperature and will autolyze and die under low temperature conditions. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth is 28-30°C. When the temperature is lower than 15°C or higher than 30°C, the mycelial growth rate will drop sharply, which also indicates that it is difficult for Boletus aereus to be preserved under the condition of 0-6°C like other strains. Although there are studies on long-term low-temperature preservation of Boletus aereus strains in the prior art, they usually require pre-cooling and segmented treatment, or additional addition of various protective agent components, which have the disadvantages of cumbersome operation and increased cost. Currently, the commonly used test tube slant subculture preservation method in production preserves the strains at 15-20°C and transfers the tubes once every 3-6 months. This technology provides a simple and effective short-term preservation method, but also increases the risk of contamination of the strains and variation of their morphological and physiological characteristics.
[0003] In addition, most of the current excellent strains of Boletus aereus are obtained through natural selection, that is, by widely collecting fruiting bodies from different regions, different growth environments and different development periods to isolate strains, and systematically testing various aspects such as the mycelial growth rate, culture characteristics, adaptability to the cultivation environment, the early or late fruiting period, the shape, size, color, texture, etc. of the fruiting bodies of each strain, and finally screening out excellent strains. This breeding method has complex procedures, large workload and is not easy to promote and apply. Therefore, it is extremely important to design a method that can simply and effectively preserve Boletus aereus strains and maintain their excellent traits. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preserving Boletus aereus strains and a preservation medium to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. This preservation method can preserve the viability and excellent properties of Boletus aereus sclerotia for up to four and a half years, solves the problem that Boletus aereus is not easy to be simply and long-term preserved, and provides technical support for the large-scale subculture and propagation of Boletus aereus.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following solution:
[0006] The present invention provides a preservation medium for Boletus aereus sclerotia, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 45-48 parts of wheat grains, 15-18 parts of miscellaneous wood chips, 15-17 parts of pine wood chips, 18-19 parts of wheat bran, 1-2 parts of gypsum and 1-2 parts of white sugar.
[0007] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned preservation medium for the sclerotium of Boletus aereus, comprising the following steps:
[0008] (1) Boil wheat grains until they are saturated with water absorption without breaking the skin, and then filter and dry them;
[0009] (2) Mix the remaining raw materials, add lemon water thereto, and finally add the filtered and dried wheat grains and stir evenly to obtain the preservation medium for the sclerotium of Boletus aereus.
[0010] Further, the concentration of the lemon water in step (2) is 20 mg / L, and the mass ratio of the lemon water to the remaining raw materials is 1:1.4.
[0011] The present invention also provides a method for preserving the strain of Boletus aereus, comprising the steps of inoculating the strain of Boletus aereus into the preservation medium for the sclerotium of Boletus aereus according to claim 1 to culture sclerotia, and then preserving them under the condition of 15-18 °C.
[0012] Further, the strain of Boletus aereus is the mother strain obtained by culturing Boletus aereus on a mother culture medium.
[0013] Further, the mother culture medium comprises the following raw materials: by weight, 30 parts of starch, 1 part of peptone, 20 parts of glucose, 1 part of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 16 parts of agar, with the balance being water.
[0014] Further, the mother culture medium is prepared according to the following steps: first dissolve the starch in water, then add peptone, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and glucose and dissolve them, then add agar and stir evenly, and finally adjust the pH to 5.0 and make up the volume to 1 L with water.
[0015] Further, the culture conditions are as follows: first, culture at 28-30 °C with the humidity controlled at 60%-70% in the dark for 30 d, then adjust the temperature to 25-27 °C, and continue to culture at a humidity of 55%-65% and a light intensity of 50-100 lx for 20-30 d.
[0016] Further, the preservation conditions are to preserve in the dark with the humidity controlled at 50%-60%.
[0017] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:
[0018] (1) The sclerotium preservation medium provided by the present invention uses wheat grains as the main nutrient substrate to provide a carbon source. Through the operations of boiling and draining, the wheat grains can fully absorb water, which is beneficial for thorough autoclaving and can fully release the nutrients in the wheat grains. Miscellaneous wood chips provide lignocellulose, wheat bran provides a nitrogen source, and citric acid is used to adjust the pH value. The carbon-nitrogen ratio of the medium is 20-25:1, which is suitable for the growth of Boletus aereus mycelium. The pine wood chips contain aromatic substances that can induce the formation of sclerotia by the mycelium of Boletus aereus. The sclerotium of Boletus aereus is a tightly intertwined dormant body storing nutrients, which can resist adverse environments better than its mycelium and is easy to maintain the activity of the strain. Miscellaneous wood chips, pine wood chips and wheat bran are fillers for the pores between wheat grains, which can further absorb the surface moisture of wheat grains, adjust the water content of wheat grains, prevent wheat grains from sticking together, and provide space for the normal growth of mycelium.
[0019] (2) The preservation method of the present invention is simple in operation, the components of the preservation medium are easy to obtain, and the production cost is low. Moreover, there is no significant difference in the vitality and cultivation performance of the sclerotia of Boletus aereus preserved by the preservation method of the present invention and the original sclerotia. It can preserve the vitality and excellent properties of the sclerotia of Boletus aereus for up to four and a half years, solving the problem that Boletus aereus is not easy to be simply and long-term preserved, and providing technical guarantee for the large-scale subculture and propagation of Boletus aereus.
