Résultats et discussion. Chapitre 2: Optimisation de la production du spawn<br />

5. Conclusion<br />

The results presented in this paper showed that the non-esterified ergosterol<br />

measurement of L. edodes can be considered as a reliable indirect method for estimating<br />

fungal biomass present in spawn. In fact, non-esterified ergosterol content is constant<br />

whatever the age of the mycelium, culture conditions and medium composition. In the other<br />

hand, this study demonstrated that the established correlations between Ergosterol and CO2<br />

rate production in solid state fermentation permit a good estimation of the physiological state<br />

of mycelial biomass. By using the linear regression equation obtained in solid state culture,<br />

quantities of non-esterified ergosterol measured could be easily converted into fungal dry<br />

matter quantities per gram of dry solid medium (1 g of mycelial biomass contain 3.57 mg of<br />

ergosterol). To optimize a solid state fermentation process for biomass production, the use of<br />

such method cannot be avoided.<br />
