The present invention relates to a culture media and to a process for improved isolation and maintenance of mycelium cultures of "desert truffles" included within the genus Terfezia, the most species rich of all of desert truffle genera.
The culture media and process of the present invention improve the isolation rates and enhances Terfezia spp. hyphal proliferation in a reliable and reproducible way.
Therefore, the present invention lays in the technical domain of biochemistry and microbiology, in particular to a process and composition to produce desert truffle's mycelium that can be used in several industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and agriculture.
