Abstract : Response surface methodology (statistical analysis) was applied to optimize the medium composition for the mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production by Calocybe indica in submerged cultures. Firstly, three significant factors (Glucose, peptone and incubation days) on mycelial growth (g/50ml) and exopolysaccharide yield (mg/50ml) were obtained using central composite design. Subsequently, in order to study the mutual interactions between variables, the effects of these factors were further investigated using three-factor, central composite design and the optimal composition for mycelial growth was (in g/L): Glucose 10, peptone 5, and Incubation was 28 days also, the optimal composition for maximum exopolysaccharide production in Calocybe indica was (in g/L): Glucose 15, peptone 2.5, and incubation 21 days under the optimized medium, respectively.
