[Isolation and fermentation culture of fungi from Cordyceps soofifera].
OBJECTIVE
To study the fungi isolated from Cordyceps sobolifera and its fermentation culture.


METHODS
The fungi was isolated and identified by its hypha and spores. Three liquid media were used in the culture.


RESULTS
Pure culture was gained and the fungi was identified to be Paecilomyces cicadae. The fungi can grow best in liquid media: egg 110 g + silkworm powder 30 g + VB1 2 tahlets + MgSO4 x 7H2O 0.5 g + K2HPO4 1 g + H2O 1000 ml, in which every litre can produce 135 g wet hypha after cultured 4 d.


CONCLUSIONS
Paecilomyces cicadae from Cordyceps sobolifera can be cultured in liquid media.
