Exopolysaccharide Producing Potential of Indigenous White Rot Fungi From Foot Hill Forests of Lower Shivalik Ranges of Chandigarh
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
White Rot Fungi Are Known To Produce Highly Value Added Exopolysaccharides (EPS) On Virtues Of Their Structural And Functional nature. However, Till Date Only Hands Of Fungi Have Been Explored For Their Potential To Produce EPS, Especially The Wood Rot Group Have Not Been Given A Deserved Attention Despite Their Tremendous Diversity In Various Habitats Of India. Foot Hill Forests Of Lower Shivalik Ranges Of Himalaya Of Chandigarh Capital Region Are An Important Biodiverse Region Harbouring A Great Diversity Of White Rot Fungi. In Present Investigation A Total Of Sixteen Important Fungal Isolates Of White Rot Group Have Been Reported From These Forests. All Of Them Have Been Identified Tentatively Upto Genus Level On The Basis Of Morphological And Microscopical Characteristics And Isolated Into Pure Culture. They Have Been Found To Belong To 6 Different Families Viz., Ganodermataceae, Polyporaceae, Schizophyllaceae, Phanerochaetaceae, Fomitopsidaceae And Hymenochaetaceae. Further Studies On Screening Of Their Potential For Exopolysaccharide Production Resulted In Twelve Positive Cultures Out Of Sixteen With The Isolate RDM9,Giving The Maximum Yield Of EPS (7.9 g/L) Which Was Later Identified As Pleurotus pulmonarius by 18s RNA Sequencing.
