Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological fermentation, and in particular relates to a Cordyceps militaris fermentation culture medium and a method for improving the yield of cordycepin in Cordyceps militaris fermentation. Background Art

[0002] Cordyceps militaris, also known as northern cordyceps, is a well-known edible medicinal filamentous fungus, widely praised by Southeast Asian countries. Cordyceps militaris belongs to the Ascomycetes, Ergotaceae, and is a combination of the fruiting body and the pupa formed by the Cordyceps militaris fungus parasitizing on the pupa of the Lepidoptera Noctuids insect. It was published at the 1727 Paris Academy of Sciences under the genus and species name Cordyceps militarys. It was first discovered in Jilin Province, my country in 1958. It is also distributed in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Anhui, Shaanxi, Hebei, etc. It is one of the most studied and developed Cordyceps fungi at present, and is also a model fungus in Cordyceps. Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris are the most studied and widely used Cordyceps fungi. Because the medicinal and nutritional value of Cordyceps militaris is very similar to that of Cordyceps sinensis, it is usually considered to be the best substitute for Cordyceps sinensis. Many biologically active ingredients have been found in Cordyceps militaris, including cordycepin, pentostatin, cordycepic acid, cordyceps polysaccharides, ergosterol, etc., among which cordycepin is one of the main active ingredients.

[0003] Cordycepin (COR), also known as 3′-deoxyadenosine, is a natural nucleoside antibiotic composed of adenosine and deoxypentose with carbon branches. It was first isolated by Cunningham's team in Cordyceps militaris culture medium in 1950. Cordycepin has high medicinal and nutritional value. Its main pharmacological effects include: immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-tumor, neuroprotective, sexual function protection, and anti-radiation. Because it is very beneficial to human health, it is currently being widely studied.

[0004] Studies have shown that the production of beneficial secondary metabolites in Cordyceps militaris can be increased by changing the culture medium components, temperature, adjusting the pH and other fermentation conditions, mutation breeding, genetic engineering and other methods. Among them, the method of increasing the yield of cordycepin by changing the fermentation conditions is difficult to obtain significant results, and the process is cumbersome; mutation breeding requires a lot of screening, the workload is large and time-consuming, the randomness is too high, and it is difficult to obtain the target strain; genetic engineering is complex at the molecular level, and it is difficult to screen positive transformants. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the metabolism of Cordyceps militaris in a more efficient way to increase the production of COR.

[0005] CN115044636A discloses a Cordyceps militaris liquid fermentation method for increasing the yield of cordycepin, and by adding an appropriate amount of rotenone after the Cordyceps militaris fermentation for a period of time, the yield of cordycepin in the Cordyceps militaris fermentation liquid can be significantly increased. Compared with the yield of 189.66mg / L of traditional fermentation without adding rotenone, the yield after adding rotenone is as high as 804.69mg / L, that is, the total yield of cordycepin is increased by 324.28%. The method is simple in process, and there is no need to improve enzyme activity by means such as genetic modification; the production cost is low, and there is no need to continuously feed adenine and other substrates required for cordycepin synthesis, and the total fermentation time of cordycepin is short, and the production efficiency is significantly improved, which is suitable for industrial production.

[0006] CN107604026A discloses a method for improving the yield of cordycepin in Cordyceps militaris fermentation liquid, the steps are: the strain is transferred to sterile PDA slant medium for cultivation and activation, and the slant mother species is obtained; the slant mother species is transferred to the plate medium for cultivation, and the plate mother species is obtained; the plate mother species is inoculated into the seed medium, and the shaking table is cultivated to obtain the seed liquid; the seed liquid is inoculated into the optimized medium and the triangular bottle mouth is sealed with a sterile polypropylene bag, and the shaking table is cultivated to obtain the fermentation liquid to be supplemented; according to the adenine supplement formula, the adenine supplement solution is prepared, and 100mL of adenine supplement solution is added to the fermentation liquid to be supplemented, so that the fermentation liquid adenine reaches its optimized mass concentration, and the supplemented fermentation liquid is obtained; after the supplemented fermentation liquid is cultured on the shaking table, it is continued to be statically cultivated to obtain the fermentation liquid containing mycelium; the mycelium in the fermentation liquid containing mycelium is filtered out to obtain the cordycepin fermentation filtrate. Its process is simple, pollution-free, and the cordycepin yield of Cordyceps militaris fermentation liquid is as high as 956.02μg / mL.

[0007] Therefore, increasing the yield of cordycepin by adjusting the fermentation medium is a convenient, effective and easy-to-operate method. Summary of the invention
