Alanine improved cordycepin production in Cordyceps militaris. Cordyceps militaris

By adding L-alanine in static liquid culture, we gained higher concetration of cordycepin, and then we analyzed the transcriptome to draw a map from amino acid interconversion to cordycepin biosynthesis.

本研究通过在静置液体培养体系中添加L-丙氨酸，获得了更高浓度的虫草素（cordycepin）；随后通过转录组（transcriptome）分析，绘制了从氨基酸相互转化到虫草素生物合成的图谱。
