Abstract: GLORIANI, AIRAM EULIZHENE B. AND PERLADO, CHARISSA MAE. D. Taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a carbohydrate source for a mycological culture media. Undergraduate thesis, Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, October 2016, Adviser, Karen Krista M. Escobar, RMT, MSMT. The study entitled “Taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a Carbohydrate Source for a Mycological Culture Media” was conducted at the Department of Medical Technology, College of Nursing, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from July 2016 to September 2016. It aimed to make a mycological culture media using taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a carbohydrate source. Specifically, the purpose of this study were to: establish the development of mycological culture media using taro as a carbohydrate source; determine the effects of different concentrations of taro as a carbohydrate source and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) in terms of colony clarity, colony diameter, fungi sporulation, and aerial mycelial growth; and determine the optimum concentration of taro which might be substituted to potato in making a mycological culture media. Fungi were inoculated on the varying concentrations of culture media and were incubated for seven days. Colony morphology based on clarity, size, and mycelial growth of each fungi were determined. Determination of fungi sporulation was done using a counting chamber. In general, results showed that there were growths of fungi in different concentrations of taro based on colony clarity and diameter, fungi sporulation, and mycelial growth. This study concluded that taro could be used as a carbohydrate source for a culture media, specifically Treatment 3 (100%), which was the optimum concentration that could be used as a substitute for potato in Potato Dextrose Agar. This recommended that taro (Colocasia esculenta) could be used as an alternative source of carbohydrate for mycological culture media.

The study entitled “Taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a Carbohydrate Source for a Mycological Culture Media” was conducted at the Department of Medical Technology, College of Nursing, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from July 2016 to September 2016. It aimed to make a mycological culture media using taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a carbohydrate source. Specifically, the purpose of this study were to: establish the development of mycological culture media using taro as a carbohydrate source; determine the effects of different concentrations of taro as a carbohydrate source and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) in terms of colony clarity, colony diameter, fungi sporulation, and aerial mycelial growth; and determine the optimum concentration of taro which might be substituted to potato in making a mycological culture media.

Fungi were inoculated on the varying concentrations of culture media and were incubated for seven days. Colony morphology based on clarity, size, and mycelial growth of each fungi were determined. Determination of fungi sporulation was done using a counting chamber.

In general, results showed that there were growths of fungi in different concentrations of taro based on colony clarity and diameter, fungi sporulation, and mycelial growth. This study concluded that taro could be used as a carbohydrate source for a culture media, specifically Treatment 3 (100%), which was the optimum
concentration that could be used as a substitute for potato in Potato Dextrose Agar.

This recommended that taro (Colocasia esculenta) could be used as an alternative source of carbohydrate for mycological culture media.
