Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention application filed on January 30, 2024, with Chinese application number 2024101332830 and entitled "Method for Breeding Golden Ear Spores". Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to the field of edible fungi cultivation technology, specifically to a method for cultivating Auricularia auricula spores based on single-colony streak hybridization breeding. Background Technology
[0003] *Auricularia auricula-judae* is a fungus belonging to the family Auriculariaceae and the genus *Auricularia*. The basidiosperm is large, hemispherical to irregularly shaped, and massive, ranging from brain-like to split into several deeply grooved and thick lobes, 3-12 cm in diameter and 2-8 cm high. The hymenium is widespread on the exposed surface, forming a broad, loose area containing the basidia; the probasidium is initially elliptical to ovoid; the mature hypobasidium is spherical, nearly spherical, rarely pear-shaped to have a short stalk-like base, 13-25 μm long and 11.5-19.5 μm wide. *Auricularia auricula-judae* is distributed in high-altitude forests of Fujian, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Guizhou, and Tibet in China, with the highest production in northwestern Yunnan and southeastern Tibet. It grows mostly in summer and autumn, at altitudes of 1800-3200 meters, often solitary or in groups on decaying wood of broad-leaved trees such as those in the Fagaceae and Betulaceae families in broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. Golden ear fungus is rich in fat, protein, and trace elements such as phosphorus, sulfur, manganese, iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. It is a nutritious tonic and can also be used medicinally. It is warm in nature with a slightly cooling effect, and has a sweet taste. It can resolve phlegm, stop coughing, relieve asthma, regulate qi, and soothe the liver and intestines. It is mainly used to treat lung heat, excessive phlegm, colds with cough, asthma, and high blood pressure.
[0004] Because golden ear fungus has high edible and medicinal value, and wild golden ear fungus is expensive and scarce, artificial cultivation is carried out. Existing golden ear fungus breeding and cultivation processes typically employ single-spore isolation, where golden ear fungus spores are isolated under a microscope. This method requires high operational skill, involves cumbersome cultivation steps, and is time-consuming, failing to meet practical production needs. Therefore, this paper proposes a simpler and faster method for golden ear fungus spore cultivation based on single-colony streak hybridization breeding. Summary of the Invention
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for cultivating Auricularia auricula spores based on single-colony streak hybridization breeding, which solves the technical problems of high operational requirements, cumbersome cultivation steps, and long cultivation time in existing cultivation methods.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The method for cultivating Auricularia auricula-judae spores based on single-colony streak hybridization breeding involves the following steps: S1. Obtain surface-sterilized golden ear fruiting body blocks; S2. Place the culture flask containing distilled water in a high-temperature autoclave at 121℃; S3. After picking up the fruiting body of Auricularia auricula-judae and hanging it on the hook, put it into a culture bottle and culture it at 20°C in the dark for 2 days to collect the Auricularia auricula-judae spores; S4. Pour the distilled water containing spores from the bottom of the culture flask onto a sterile screening plate medium and shake to distribute it evenly. S5. Place the screening plate culture medium in the dark at 20°C for 4-5 days to obtain multiple single colonies that are visible to the naked eye; S6. Randomly select two single colonies of Auricularia auricula-judae and draw intersecting lines on the same sterile agar plate for hybridization culture. At the same time, inoculate with liquid culture of Auricularia auricula-judae and shake well on the agar plate to induce ear growth. Culture S7 at 18~19℃ in the dark for 25~30 days; the appearance of young ears indicates successful hybridization.
[0007] Preferably, the screening plate culture medium formula in step S4 is: 200 g potato, 20 g glucose, 1 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1 g magnesium sulfate, 1 g peptone, 1 g yeast powder, 20 g agar, 1 L water, and 30 mg ampicillin.
[0008] Preferably, the formula for the agar plate culture medium in step S6 is: 200 g potato, 20 g sucrose, 1 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1 g magnesium sulfate, 1 g peptone, 1 g yeast powder, 20 g agar, and 1 L water.
[0009] Preferably, the preparation method of the liquid culture of *Trichoderma harzianum* in step S6 is as follows: 1) Prepare and sterilize the liquid culture medium, the formula of which is: 20 g glucose, 3 g yeast powder, 3 g peptone, 1 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 1 g magnesium sulfate; 2) Place the *Trichoderma harzianum* mother culture, the sterilized liquid culture medium, inoculation tools, etc., into a clean bench for ultraviolet sterilization for 15 minutes; 3) Light an alcohol lamp, open the mother culture plate in front of the flame, and use a scalpel to cut 1 cm of the plate. 2 4) Place the chopped mother culture into the liquid culture medium; 5) Stir the liquid culture with magnetic stirring and incubate at 23°C in the dark for 5 days.
[0010] (III) Beneficial Effects This invention provides a method for cultivating *Auricularia auricula-judae* spores based on single-colony streak hybridization breeding. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages: Existing methods use single-spore isolation under a microscope, which requires high operational skills, involves cumbersome cultivation steps, and is time-consuming, failing to meet practical production needs. The *Auricularia auricula-judae* spore cultivation method of this invention first directly suspends and cultivates *Auricularia auricula-judae* fruiting bodies. After spore emergence, the spores are collected and then cultured separately on screening plates. New strains are then cultivated through different colony hybridization breeding methods, and fruiting bodies are induced. This significantly shortens the cultivation time, simplifies the operation, and reduces equipment requirements, meeting the needs of practical industrial production. Attached Figure Description
