Cultivation For pre-inoculum cultivation, a suspension of spores was collected by washing PDA plates with 0.1% tween 80 solution and then approximately 3 106spores were inoculated into 50 mL pre-inoculum culture medium in 250 mLErlenmeyer flasks. This cultivation was carried out at 30C,180 rpm for 30 h in a shaker (New Brunswick Scientific). Then, an aliquot of pre-inoculum culture (5 mL) was inoculated into 50 mL inoculum culture medium in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks and incubated at 30C, 180 rpm for 15 h.
