Fig. 9.2 Changes in the luminescence intensity, the contents of luciferin and SOD, and medium pH during the mycelial growth of five kinds of bioluminescent fungi Panellus stipticus, Armillaria mellea, Mycena citricolor, Pleurotus japonicus, and Omphelotus olearius. The ordinate readings of the curves marked 1/3 should be multiplied by 3. For the SOD activity, see Table 9.2, footnote e. From Shimomura, 1992, with permission from Oxford University Press.

Two typical media for growth of fungi are Sabouraud liquid medium and Czapek-Dox medium. Both these media may be sohdified with agar if required.

The colony characteristics and microscopic morphology used for the identification of dematiaceous fungi are based upon cultures that are approximately 2 weeks old and have been grown at 25 to 30°C on a medium such as potato dextrose agar or cornmeal agar. These media...
