Solid State Culture Conditions for Improved Conidial Production of the Mycoparasitic Fungus Escovopsis Weberi
BIOCONTROL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY(2023)
Abstract
We evaluated culture conditions (temperature, substrate moisture content, agitation and light conditions) for optimising conidia production of Escovopsis weberi Ew1 using solid state culture. In addition, several substrates such as agricultural waste and food industry by-products were evaluated with the aim of reducing spore production costs in a strategic way towards circular bioeconomy. Finally, we selected substrate combinations in order to achieve a suitable system for the production of conidia.
