Abstract
Subculturing is frequently used for the preservation of basidiomycetes. In this study, to assess and verify the risks of repeated subculturing on the long-term preservation of strains of culture collections, we performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis in genes encoding enzymes of the mevalonate pathway, 1,3-β-glucan synthesis, lignin degradation, and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle of mycelia before and after preserving for a 4-year period by the subculturing 30 times every 45 days of Ganoderma lucidum NBRC 8346. As a result of analyzing 60 genes of the strain, SNPs were found in 18 genes, and 14 of them were found in the exon region. Nonsynonymous coding SNPs were found in two genes (atoB_2, hmgr) encoding enzymes of mevalonate pathway and five genes (lcc1_9, lcc1_11, lcc1_13, dslcc6, aa5_1_9) encoding enzymes of lignin degradation after subculturing of G. lucidum NBRC 8346.
