Carbon and nitrogen sources were mannose and malt extract, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was in the range of 10 to 1 with 2% glucose. Other minor components for the optimal growth were thiamine-HCl and biotin as vitamins, succinic acid and lactic acid as organic acids, and MgSO4·7H2O and KH2PO4 as mineral salts.

한국에서의 복령연구는 형태학적 관찰 및 특징, 채집기, 재배방법, 복령균의 배양학적 특성연구 (홍과이, 1990), 1994년 농촌진흥청에서 복령의 인공재배법이 개발되면서 드링크제, 제빵제재 등의 식품화연구도 2000년대 초까지 진행되었다. 복령의 에탄올추출물은 폐암, 난소암, 피부암, 중추신경암, 직장암 세포 성장에 높은 저해활성을 나타내는 등 항암효과 등의 기능성이 입증되었다(권 등, 1998). 하지만 현재까지도 복령의 수요를 천연채집 및 수입에 의존하고 있어서 재배시 고품질, 다수확을 위한 인공재배방법을개선해야할 필요가 있다. 최근에는 경북농업기술원과신농버섯연구소 등에서 지상에서 재배법을 시도하기도 하였다. 또한 최근의 재배사례에서는 부적절한 재배시기를 선택하는 등의 사유로 실패사례를 간혹 볼수 있다. 최근 복령의 주요 수출국인 중국이 수출을제한하여서 지난 4년간 복령가격이 113% 인상되는등 복령의 국내공급량이 절대적으로 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 현재까지 개발된 복령의 지상재배법과 지하재배법의 장점만을 이용한 새로운 방법의 복령인공재배기술의 확립이 요청된다.

Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as aviation lighting, automotive lighting, advertising, general lighting, and traffic signals. LED panel light source used in an experiment on plant and mushroom growth. To establish the optimum artificial light illumination method for Pleurotus eryngii in closed mushroom factory system, the effects of red LED light quality on growth was investigated. The humidity was maintained more than 90% and temperature was 15~16℃, and CO2 density was 500ppm. The fresh weightand height were higher under red LED light (650nm, 73.1 Pmol/m 2s) comparing with control (fluorescent lamp, 10~20 lux). β-aminoisobutyric acid and total phenol content were higher under red LED light (650nm, 73.1 Pmol/m2s).

The aim of this study was to investigate the suppressive activity of 70% ethanol extract and its dichloromethane fraction from Auricularia auricula-judae against adipogenesis and lipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The ethanol extract and its dichloromethane fraction suppressed the differentiation and decreased lipid droplets in vitro. The dose-dependent increasing concentration of glycerol and lower triglycerides accumulation were found significantly (P < 0.05) with the treatment of both fractions from 70% ethanolic Auricularia auricula-judae extract and the glycerol-3-3phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity was also inhibited by both extracts. Further, the expression of adipogenic mRNAs were investigated by RT-PCR amplification. The key transcriptional factors, PPARγ and C/EBPα were decreased significantly at dose-dependent manner by both extracts of Auricularia auricula-judae. The expressions of LPL and FAS were also decreased by presence of these extracts. The decreased expressions of C/EBPβ, C/EBPγ and ACC1 were observed only by ethanol extract at 300 μg/ml concentration, while the expression of SREBP-1c, GLUT4 and aP2 were not altered in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These changes were occurred without the cytotoxic effect of both extracts against 3T3-L1 adipocytes in vitro. A positive control, fenofibrate inhibited the differentiation, triglycerides accumulation through PPARγ signaling by 2/3 reduction of PPARγ expression. Thus, these findings suggest that both extracts of Auricularia auricula-judae might be used to inhibit the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and reduction of triglycerides accumulation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumor activity of solvent fractions from Auricularia auricula-judae 70% ethanol extract and confirmed the active components of dichloromethane fraction showing a potent antitumor activity than other fractions in the broncheoalveolar and gastric cancer cells. The solvent fractions of Auricularia auricula-judae extract, inhibited the growth proliferation of tumor cells in dose-dependent manner. The principle components of dichloromethane fraction were 5,11,17,23-tetrakis (1,1-dimethyl)-28-methoxypentacyclo [19.3.1.1 (3,7).1 (… (65.85%) and diazane (6.17%). The antitumor active components, diazane and gibberellic acid (GA3) were identified in this fraction by GC-MS analysis and lower antitumor activities than dichloromethane fraction. The unknown components of dichloromethane fraction were responsible for its cytotoxic effects on tumor cells. Based on IC50 value, gibberellic acid was little cytotoxic itself. According to PCR amplification, the apoptosis of tumor cells were induced by the down-regulation of Bcl-2 and over-expression of P53 on the presence of solvent fractions, diazane and gibberellic acid. Thus, these findings suggest that the dichloromethane might be used as functional feed additive that suppress the tumor growth in the body than other solvent fractions of Auricularia auricula-judae extracts.
