Last Updated: 2024/12/22, Strain degeneration will lead to slow growth of mycelium, weak resistance to environment, miscellaneous bacteria, etc., fruit body formation period ahead or behind, fruiting tide is not obvious and so on. There are many reasons for strain degeneration, among which impure strain and gene mutation are the main reasons. In addition, high temperature and mixed cultivation of different strains will cause strain degeneration. Measures to prevent strain degeneration include: ensuring pure culture of strains, paying attention not to use strains contaminated by miscellaneous bacteria, not to connect and culture in close proximity; strictly controlling the passage times of strains, reducing mechanical damage,

The degradation of bacteria will lead to the slow growth of mycelium, the weakening of resistance to environment and miscellaneous bacteria, the advance or postponement of fruiting body formation, the unobvious tide of mushroom, and so on. There are many reasons for strain degradation, among which impurity and gene mutation are the main reasons. In addition, high temperature and mixed cultivation of different strains will cause strain degradation.

The measures to prevent the degradation of bacteria are as follows: to ensure the pure culture of bacteria, to be careful not to use the strains contaminated by miscellaneous bacteria, not to connect them closely, to strictly control the passage times of bacteria, to reduce mechanical damage, and to ensure the vitality of bacteria; to preserve bacteria at low temperature, such as mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, to preserve the vitality of mycelium at 4 ℃, and to preserve the vitality of mycelium at 16 ℃ for high temperature strains such as straw mushroom. Avoid multiple passages in a single culture medium; strains should not be used for too long, over-aged strains will appear aging, and aging and degradation are organically linked, and strains with weak vitality are easy to degenerate; bacteria should be rejuvenated regularly under the conditions of suitable temperature, suitable pH, sufficient oxygen, no miscellaneous bacteria and so on. Spore isolation is carried out every year, excellent strains are found by sexual reproduction, and tissue isolation is used to consolidate the genetic characteristics of excellent strains.
