Paecilomyces tenuipes (P. tenuipes) is a fungus cultivated artificially by South Korean researchers, utilizing rice bran as its substrate. The increased demand for this fungus has not been met with successful cultivation methods for fruiting body production in natural environments. Therefore, we tested the effect on the growth of P. tenuipes using a Solid media based on pests. In this results, the Solid media based on M.alternatus was effective in increasing the growth of P. tenuipes and the content of cordycepin. Moreover, we confirmed the conditions for manufacturing a Solid media based on M.alternatus for P. tenuipes growth. We suggested that the growth-promoting compounds offers valuable insights for optimizing fungal cultivation conditions, thereby enhancing productivity and contributing to a broader understanding of fungal physiology in varying nutritional environments.

In this study, we investigated the effect of solid culture medium on the production of cordycepin in Cordyceps militaris. The regression equation was expressed as follows: Y1= 755.3-58.6625X1+4.79432E-14X2-46.6625X3-5.66269E-14X1X2- 0.025X1X3+1.62475E-14X2X3-160.6625X1 2+0.0125X2 2-206.9625X3 2, where, Y represents the value of cordycepin content (μg/g), X1 corresponds to the weight of M. alternatus in solid culture medium (g/bottle), X2 to the water content of the solid culture medium (%), and X3 to the culture period (day). The solid culture medium was optimized using the response surface methodology, and the optimal medium composition was as follows: the weight of M. alternatus in solid culture medium and water content were 16.2% and 100.7% (20.14 mL water/20 g solid culture medium), respectively, with a culture period of 39 days. Under these conditions, the cordycepin content of the fruiting bodies reached 150.0 μg/g (actual value). The supplementation of M. alternatus in solid culture for improved cordycepin content of C. militaris seems to be a promising alternative to wild and solid cultivation.

버섯을 이용한 기능성 전통 장류발효식품의 개발 및 버섯가공산업 육성을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 상식하고있는 7종류의 곡물배지에 느타리버섯 균사체 배양을 행하고 그 배양추출물의 생리활성 등을 검토하였다. 곡물을 냉수에 4시간 수침시킨 후 물 빼기를 한 다음 곡물 중량비에 대하여 수분을 25%(V/W) 전후로 첨가하고 증자시간을 30분 행하는 것이 느타리버섯 균사생육에 효과적이었다. 7종류의 곡물배지에 느타리버섯 균사를 고체 배양한 결과 조와 보리쌀 배지에서 생육이 가장 왕성하였고 그 다음은 대두박과 검정콩 배지로 나타났으며 밀, 옥수수 및 현미배지에서는 생육이 늦은 것으로 나타났다. 느타리버섯 균사추출물들이 폐암세포의 생육에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 옥수수, 대두박, 현미, 보리쌀 및 검정콩 배지에서 비교적 높은 항암성을 나타내었고, 조와 밀의 배지에서는 낮은 항암성을 나타내었다. 혈전용해활성은 대두박, 밀, 조, 보리쌀, 현미, 검정콩, 옥수수배지의 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 병원성 세균에 대한 항균활성은 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 및 Staphylococcus aureus에 대하여 높게 나타났다.
