Abstract

The time course of lectin production in culture liquid of the basidial fungus Lentinus edodes strain F-249 in different media under submerged culture conditions was studied. The activity of agglutinins depended on the ratio between carbon and nitrogen sources and the pH of the culture medium. The lectin activity in culture medium was maximal when the fungus was grown in a medium containing L-arabinose as a source of carbon and L-asparagine as a source of nitrogen (C:N ratio, (9.5–12):1) on day 15–18 of culturing at pH 8.0–9.0.
