Two phylogenetic trees were generated based on the sequences of large subunit ribosomal RNA gene D1/D2 regions and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of related fungi, respectively. The analysis of D1/D2 regions and ITS sequences showed that fungus B1 was clustered together with T. aurantialba, T. aurantia and T. microspore in the phylogenetic trees. Both the morphological characteristic and phylogenetic analysis established that fungus B1 was one of the anamorph strains of T. aurantialba and belongs to Tremella genus. A fermentation medium for exopolysaccharides (EPS) production by T. aurantialba B1. Plackett-Burmen design was used to evaluate the effects of different components in the culture medium. Glucose and yeast extract have significant influence on the EPS production. The concentrations of two factors were optimized subsequently using central composite design and response surface analysis. The results showed that 49.2 g/L glucose and 10.4 g/L yeast extract could lead to the maximum production of EPS (4.99 g/L). The optimized medium led to a 1.5-fold enhancement of the production of EPS by T. aurantialba B1, as compared with that without optimization. %U https://www.jproeng.com/CN/abstract/article_1945.shtml
