6 Test Methods

6.1 Container Inspection Visual inspection under natural light.

6.2 Species testing The seed supplier confirmed the seed quality was qualified through fruiting tests in accordance with the requirements of NY/T 2588.

6.3 Biological testing

6.3.1 Microscopic Examination A small amount of mycelium can be directly picked from the solid microbial culture sample to make a water seal slide; or a liquid microbial culture solution can be directly aspirated to make a water seal slide. Alternatively, mycelial balls can be inoculated onto PDA medium under aseptic conditions and cultured at 25°C±1°C for 4-7 days. A small amount of mycelium can then be collected and processed into a solution. Cover the film. Table 2 shows the observation of mycelial growth, clamp connections, and presence of contaminants using an optical microscope with a magnification of at least 10×40. The water seal plate should be observed, and no less than 50 fields of view should be observed for each sample.

6.3.2 Mold Test Under aseptic conditions, take a small amount of culture suspected of being contaminated with mold and inoculate it onto a PDA medium slant or plate. A case is left uninoculated. PDA culture dishes served as blank controls, while PDA culture dishes inoculated with normal mycelia served as negative controls. Incubation was carried out at 25°C±1°C for 5~7 days, and colonies were observed. If the mycelium is discolored and different from that of black fungus, or has an unusual odor, or produces a large number of conidia, it is all due to mold contamination.

6.3.3 Yeast test Under aseptic conditions, take a small amount of culture suspected of being contaminated with yeast, and set up an uninoculated PDA culture dish as a blank control. Follow aseptic procedures. Inoculate into PDA medium and incubate at 25°C~28°C for 3~5 days. Colonies without filamentous structures or with an unusual odor are likely yeast. pollute.

6.3.4 Bacterial testing Under aseptic conditions, take a small amount of culture suspected of bacterial contamination and inoculate it into a container of 10 mL of nutrient broth (prepared according to A.4). In the test tubes, a blank control of uninoculated nutrient broth culture medium was also included. The cultures were incubated at 25°C~28°C with shaking for 1~2 days, and the culture results were observed. Check if the liquid is cloudy. Cloudiness indicates bacterial contamination, while clarity indicates no bacterial contamination.

6.3.5 Examination of insects and their eggs The test shall be performed according to the method described in NY/T 1284.

6.4 Sensory inspection Visually inspect the amount of mother culture medium poured in under natural light, the mycelial growth status, mycelial characteristics, colony characteristics, culture medium, antagonistic phenomena, and so on. Sensory requirements include angular change, ear buds, bacterial suspension state, contaminating colonies, and mycelial characteristics. If necessary, use a 5× magnifying glass to observe contaminating colonies and mycelial balls. feature.

6.5 Measurement of mycelial growth rate

6.5.1 Mother Seed Take five 90mm diameter petri dishes, pour in PDA medium prepared according to A.1, and after cooling, inoculate with mother culture mycelial blocks of the same size. After incubating the culture dish at 25°C±1°C for 7 days, the diameter of the colonies in each dish was measured and the average growth rate was calculated.

6.5.2 Original species and cultivated species Take 10 plastic bags (17cm x 35cm), prepare sawdust culture medium according to A.2, fill each bag with an equal amount of culture medium to make a mushroom bag, sterilize and cool. Then, an equal amount of original or cultivated spawn was inoculated into the culture bags and cultured at 25°C±1°C. The number of days it took for the mycelium to fully colonize the culture medium was recorded, and the average number of days to colonize the medium was calculated. Number of days.

6.6 Observation of bacterial strain viability The mother culture or liquid culture of the bacterial strain to be tested is inoculated into PDA medium, with at least 5 mycelial blocks of the same size inoculated into each petri dish. Mycelial balls were inoculated into three petri dishes for each sample and cultured at 25°C±1°C. The mycelial blocks or mycelia were observed and recorded visually every 12 hours. The time required for bulb germination was observed continuously for 3 days. The original and cultivated strains to be tested were inoculated into sawdust culture medium, with 5 bottles (bags) inoculated for each strain. The inoculation amount was consistent in replicates. Cultivate at 25°C±1°C, observe the germination time of the strain with the naked eye every day, observe continuously for 3 days and record the germination time.

6.7 pH Detection of Liquid Bacterial Cultures Under aseptic conditions, 30 mL of liquid bacterial culture from the test strain was evenly distributed into three centrifuge tubes and incubated for 30 minutes or... After centrifuging at 3000 r/min for 5 min, the pH of the supernatant was measured using precision pH test paper or a pH meter.

6.8 Mycelial volume ratio In liquid culture medium (prepared according to A.3), culture in shake flasks or fermenters at 25°C±1°C for 7 days. Under aseptic conditions, measure... A certain volume of liquid bacterial culture is transferred to a graduated centrifuge tube or graduated cylinder, allowed to stand for 30 minutes, and the volume of mycelium after sedimentation is measured. The percentage of the volume of mycelium after condensation to the total volume of the liquid culture is the mycelium volume ratio.
