Abstract:
In this paper,the effect of temperature on
Paecilomyces lilacinus growth was investigated.The growth index for OD,pH,mycelia dry weight,and spore number and their toxic effect on nematodes at different temperatures (15~35℃)were analyzed.Results show that temperature is a key factor of fermentation.
Paecilomyces lilacinus exhibits normal growth within 20~30℃,optimum mycelia growth and sporulation occur at 25℃,mycelia biomass reaches 1.08g in 9 days,spore number reaches 4.012×10
6/mL in 10 days.Between 15~30℃,higher temperatures can increase C and N consumption and toxin production.At 30℃,cultured 7d,the toxicity to
Ditylenchus destructor can reach 64.60%.
