Key Findings
- The study, conducted by the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences, aimed to improve the cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms
- Researchers used ARTP mutation and microbial microdroplet culture to identify mutant strains with better growth and bioactive compound production
- Three mutant strains, YB05, YB09, and YB18, showed significantly higher growth rates and triterpenoid production compared to the original strain
- The beneficial traits of these mutant strains remained stable for at least five generations, indicating their robustness
