Abstract:

The aim of this research was to distinguish 11 cultivated strains of Auricularia polytricha Mont. They were analyzed by antagonistic test and Esterase Isoenzyme, The results showed that the two methods got the same conclusions, and 11 strains could be divided into six groups: the first group including 4 strains of Auricularia polytricha Mont. No.3 etc. the second group including 3 strains of white back 120 etc. The others belonged to different groups. Therefore, in order to reduce the workload and blindness, and to provide a basis for further research, it was necessary to utilize antagonistic test for a preliminary screening on tested strains in the identification of edible fungi strains. Esterase Isoenzyme was also effective for the classification of strain, Its results could be comprehensively analyzed for providing the basis in genetics research and mushroom breeding.
