[0028] (3) Preparation of mycelia: After the culture is completed, centrifuge using a high-speed refrigerated centrifuge at 14,000 r / min for 10 min. Wash the centrifuged mycelia 2 - 3 times with pure water and then centrifuge again, discard the supernatant to obtain wet mycelia. Divide the wet mycelia into 2 equal parts with the same mass; one part of the wet mycelia is used for determining ergosterol, and the other part of the wet mycelia is dried at 40 - 60°C until the water content of the mycelia is 8% - 10% to obtain dry mycelia.

[0029] (4) Determination of mycelial biomass: Dry the wet mycelia in an oven with a temperature adjustment range of 40°C - 60°C until a constant weight is reached, and weigh the obtained substance to obtain the biomass of the mycelia.

[0030] (5) Determination of ergosterol content in mycelia: Add 40 mL of methanol to the obtained wet mycelia, vortex and mix evenly, and perform ultrasonic extraction at 40 kHz for 30 min to obtain a sample solution; centrifuge the sample solution, the centrifugation conditions of the sample solution are centrifugation at 5000 r / min for 5 min, take the supernatant, filter it through a 0.45 µm organic microporous filter membrane to obtain a filtrate, and determine the ergosterol content in the obtained filtrate using a high-performance liquid chromatograph.

[0032] Results: When the concentration of adenosine in the liquid medium is 1.0 g / L, the ergosterol content in the Tremella aurantialba mycelia is 34.6 mg / L, and the biomass is 11.3 g / L.

[0033] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that the concentration of adenosine in the used liquid medium is 2.0 g / L.

[0034] Inoculate the Tremella aurantialba seed liquid into the liquid medium, at 25°C, shaking rate 150 r / min, and culture time 6 days. Determine the ergosterol content in the wet mycelia and the biomass of the dry mycelia.

[0035] Results: When the concentration of adenosine in the liquid medium is 2.0 g / L, the ergosterol content in the Tremella aurantialba mycelia is 37.5 mg / L, and the biomass is 11.6 g / L.

[0036] Example 3 It is different from Example 1 in that the concentration of adenosine in the liquid medium is 3.0 g / L.

[0037] The Tremella aurantialba seed liquid was inoculated into the liquid medium. At 25 °C, the shaking rate was 150 r / min, and the culture time was 6 days. The ergosterol content in the wet mycelium and the biomass of the dry mycelium were measured.

[0038] Results: When the concentration of adenosine in the liquid medium was 3.0 g / L, the ergosterol content in the Tremella aurantialba mycelium was 42.0 mg / L, and the biomass was 12.5 g / L.

[0039] Example 4 It is different from Example 1 in that the concentration of adenosine in the liquid medium is 4.0 g / L.

[0040] The Tremella aurantialba seed liquid was inoculated into the liquid medium. At 25 °C, the shaking rate was 150 r / min, and the culture time was 6 days. The ergosterol content in the wet mycelium and the biomass of the dry mycelium were measured.

[0041] Results: When the concentration of adenosine in the liquid medium was 4.0 g / L, the ergosterol content in the Tremella aurantialba mycelium was 45.8 mg / L, and the biomass was 11.8 g / L.

[0042] Example 5 It is different from Example 1 in that the liquid medium is: 200 g / L of potato (using the leaching juice, boiled for 30 minutes), 20 g / L of glucose, 3 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1.5 g / L of magnesium sulfate, 2.0 mg / L of vitamin B1, made up to 1000 mL with water, natural pH value, dispensed and sterilized, and the sterilization conditions were 121 °C, 20 min. Adenosine was added to the obtained liquid medium until the adenosine concentration was 5.0 g / L.

[0043] The Tremella aurantialba seed liquid was inoculated into the liquid medium. At 25 °C, the shaking rate was 150 r / min, and the culture time was 6 days. The ergosterol content in the wet mycelium and the biomass of the dry mycelium were measured.

[0044] Results: When the concentration of adenosine in the liquid medium was 5.0 g / L, the ergosterol content in the Tremella aurantialba mycelium was 45.6 mg / L, and the biomass was 12.0 g / L.

[0045] Control Example It is different from Example 1 in that adenosine is not added to the liquid medium. After the culture was completed, the ergosterol content in the wet mycelium and the biomass of the dry mycelium were measured.

[0046] Results: When adenosine was not added to the liquid medium, the ergosterol content in Tremella aurantialba mycelium was 29.6 mg / L, and the biomass was 11.6 g / L.

[0047] See Figures 1 - 2 It can be seen that when the adenosine content was 1.0 - 5.0 g / L, it had a good effect on improving the ergosterol content; the biomass did not decrease significantly.

[0048] From Figure 3 it can be seen that the method provided by this application can accurately detect the ergosterol content in the Tremella aurantialba ferment.

[0049] By comparison, it can be seen that in Example 1 compared with the comparative example, the ergosterol content in Tremella aurantialba mycelium increased by 16.9%, which was a relatively small increase. The ergosterol content in Tremella aurantialba mycelium in Example 3 was 1.42 times that of the comparative example. The ergosterol content in Tremella aurantialba mycelium in Example 4 was 1.55 times that of the comparative example. It shows that using this medium can significantly increase the ergosterol content in the mycelium and has no significant effect on the biomass.

[0050] This method can effectively increase the ergosterol content in Tremella aurantialba mycelium, and the ergosterol content in the Tremella aurantialba mycelium cultivated by this method is relatively high.

[0051] Example 6 The difference from Example 1 is that the sterilization conditions of the liquid medium are 120 °C and 15 min.

[0052] The liquid culture conditions are: at 20 °C, with a shaking rate of 140 r / min, and the culture time is 10 days.

[0053] Example 7 The difference from Example 1 is that the sterilization conditions of the liquid medium are 125 °C and 25 min.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
