The mushroom Lentinus lepideus was used to produce mycelial as well as soluble polysaccharides in bioreactor cultures. To determine optimal submerged culture conditions, both growth characteristics and water soluble polysaccharides production were compared among four different types of bioreactor and culture conditions. For the production of mycelial biomass, the following bioreactors were proven to be effective in decreasing order: an external-loop type air-lift bioreactor (ETAB; 7 g/l), a balloon type air bubble bioreactor (BTBB; 6.2 g/l), a stirrer type bioreactor (STB; 6 g/l), and a column type air bubble bioreactor (CTBB; 5 g/l).
