| Cordyceps militaris is a dual-purpose of medicinal and edible fungus, in order to obtain high yield and high-quality strain resources. In this study, five wild C. militaris strains (No.: XY002, XY008, XY011, XY029, XY032) were used as research objects that collected from wild strains and adopted their molecular characterization, and mating-types gene molecular testing, their culture features as well as testing their fruit body polysaccharide content. The results showed that the five strains were all Cordyceps militaris strains. And all of five strains contained two mating type genes: MTA1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1, except that XY008 contained only MAT1-1-1 mating type, there were comparative differences among five strains in mycelium growth rate, number of conidia, fruit body morphology, yield and fruit body polysaccharide content. Comprehensive cultivation characteristics and polysaccharide content results the XY011 fruit body yield was as high as 29.60 g/bottle The polysaccharide content was up to 100.79 mg/g, the length of the fruiting body was 11.41 cm, and the fruit body was sturdy and short development cycle. It was the dominant strain and had better development value. |
