Effects of pine root solution on production and polysaccharides of fermentation Poria mycelia.

Objective To study the effect of pine root liquid on the fermentation Poria mycelia yield and content of water-soluble polysaccharide, and difference between fermentation Poria mycelium and the natural Poria. Methods Poria mycelia was cultured with pine root solution and non-fermented liquid, the production of water-soluble polysaccharide content was compared. The content of water-soluble polysaccharide of fermentation mycelia and natural Poria was also compared. Results The production of fermentation Poria mycelia cultured with pine root liquid increased slightly, but water-soluble polysaccharide content decreased. Water-soluble polysaccharide content in Poria mycelia was significantly higher than that in natural Poria. Conclusion Pine root solution has different effect on fermentation Poria mycelia yield and polysaccharide content. Water-soluble polysaccharide content in Poria fermentation mycelia was higher than natural Poria.
