전통적으로 Cordyceps종은 한국을 포함한 동양에서 건강증진과 심장과 폐에 관련된 질환을 치료하는 약용식물의 하나로 사용되어왔다. 최근에 동충하초의 약리적 가치 때문에 큰번데기 동충하초를 포함한 몇가지 Cordyceps종의 인공재배에 관한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 큰번데기 동충하초를 in vitro에서 인공재배한 결과 자실체 형성이 불안정한 것을 관찰하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

Traditionally, Cordyceps species have been used as a part of herbal medicine in Oriental countries, including Korea for internal health, vigor and to cure different diseases related to heart, lung etc. In recent years, research on artificial fruiting of some species of the genus Cordyceps including C. militaris has been carried out extensively because of their medicinal value. Instability observed in the in vitro fruiting of C. militaris is reported in the present study.
