Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for biosynthesizing ergothioneine by using Hericium erinaceus mycelium and a fermentation medium used therefor, belonging to the field of microbial fermentation engineering. Background technique
[0002] Ergothioneine (EGT), scientifically named as 2-mercapto-L-histidine trimethyl inner salt, contains imidazole-2-thione group shown in the following general formula (1) in its molecular structure. Ergothioneine is a natural amino acid that exists in many animals and plants and is rich in content. It cannot be synthesized by the animal body itself and can only be ingested from food. It is a rare amino acid.
[0003]
[0004] Studies have shown that ergothioneine has strong antioxidant effects and can protect cells from cell damage or even death caused by ultraviolet rays and gamma rays. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. However, the content of ergothioneine ...
