Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro interference of different culture media, Czapek Dox Agar, Nutrient Agar, Starch Casein agar, Malt Extract Broth Base, Nutrient Broth, and the medium containing Peptone, Malt, Agar and crushed peach palm pulp (Bactris gasipaes) and tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum) on the fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus and the parasitic fungus Escovopsis sp. growth. The fungi were inoculated in different culture media and then kept in acclimatized chambers at 28 ºC in the dark for 42 days, being analyzed at weekly intervals, totaling six evaluations. Fungal colonies were evaluated considering the factor "f" (cm), obtained from the product between the width (W) and length (L) of the diameter of the colonies (f = W x L). The results showed that the symbiotic fungus and the leafcutter ant parasitic fungus showed a growth increase compared to the media provided in the plates, and the media added with tucumã peel, tucumã peel+pulp, fresh peach palm, and cooked peach palm had a significant effect in the L. gongylophorus fungus development. However, these treatments were not promising for the Escovopsis sp. fungus compared to other culture media.
