Abstract:

Metarhizium rileyi is a widely distributed entomopathogenic fungi with high pathogenicity to noctuid pests. The present study aims to optimize the liquid fermentation conditions of Metarhizium rileyi, and further increase fermentation broth biomass. In this experiment, the single factor experiment was selected for evaluating the effect of three culture solutions on fermentation broth biomass of Metarhizium rileyi, and screened the main factors affecting bioyield by Plackett-Burman. The suitable range of key factors was determined by the steepest climbing test. The multiple regression equation of mycelial biomass in liquid fermentation of Metarhizium rileyi SL200714 was established by Response Surface Method. The results showed that the strain of Metarhizium rileyi SL200714 was subjected to liquid fermentation using SDY medium under the conditions of culture temperature of 25.08℃, rotating speed of 182.11 r/min, and liquid volume of 100.03/250 mL. In this optimal culture solution, 0.361 g mycelial biomass could be produced per 10 mL fermentation broth. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the liquid fermentation culture conditions of Metarhizium rileyi, and to improve the biological yield per milliliter of Metarhizium rileyi fermentation broth, and the study could lay a foundation for the subsequent industrial production of Metarhizium rileyi conidial powder.
