Abstract:
The B. bassiana CNMN-FE-01 strain's vegetative growth was studied on several nutrient media for 14 days at a constant temperature of 25°C. As a result, B. bassiana CNMN-FE-01 strain can be successfully cultivated on various solid media, commercially available formulations, and media prepared in the laboratory. The maximum radial growth rate of the micromycete was recorded on the Oatmeal Agar medium. Also, on Oatmeal Agar, the local strain produces the highest number of viable conidia. The experimental data indicate that the micromycete growth rate differs depending on the culture medium used. The same culture medium but from different producers can induce distinct growth and sporulation patterns of the fungal strain.
