Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fungal crop cultivation, and more particularly to an automated cultivation system for Ganoderma lucidum. Background Technology

[0002] Tiger's Milk Ganoderma, also known as Reishi Mushroom, is said to have grown from the milk of a mother tiger dripping onto the ground. It is a national treasure of Malaysia and has a history of use spanning approximately 400 years. It is a fungus used for both food and medicine, primarily distributed in the tropical rainforests of southern China, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian countries. The sclerotium of Tiger's Milk Ganoderma is considered the main medicinal part and is widely used to treat various diseases.

[0003] International research on *Lignosus rhinocerotis* mainly focuses on strain identification, cultivation, nutrition, and physiological activity. For example, Mohanarji et al. studied the inhibitory effects of *Lignosus rhinocerotis* extract on fungal and bacterial growth, finding that the petroleum ether extract of *Lignosus rhinocerotis* effectively inhibited the growth of *Klebsiella pneumoniae* and *Mucor*. Ma Yan et al. added different Chinese herbal extracts to the liquid fermentation of *Lignosus rhinocerotis* and found that it may contain chemical components that promote and inhibit the growth of *Lignosus rhinocerotis*, as well as the synthesis of polysaccharides and triterpenoids. The mechanism may be that the addition of certain components of Chinese herbal medicine alters the structure of *Lignosus rhinocerotis* cells, increasing cell wall permeability, which is beneficial for nutrient uptake and intracellular product synthesis. The sclerotium extract of *Lignosus rhinocerotis* is mainly a macromolecular polysaccharide with a configuration of β-(1→3)-D-glucan. *Lignosus rhinocerotis* polysaccharides (LRP) have a unique multi-branched structure. Due to the cavitation effect generated by ultrasonic treatment, its structure will change to some extent, thus affecting its biological activity. Studies have found that LRP possesses anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, while also promoting the proliferation of immune cells. Naallathamby et al. discovered that the medicinal part of *Ganoderma lucidum* (tiger milk mushroom) is the sclerotium, from which various active substances such as polysaccharides, polysaccharide-protein complexes, proteins, and proteases were extracted, exhibiting anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anticoagulant, and immunomodulatory activities. Xiao Yidong et al. demonstrated that *Ganoderma lucidum* polysaccharide-selenium nanoparticles (LRP-SeNPs) treated with ultrasound exhibited good antioxidant activity. U-LRP-SeNPs effectively inhibited non-enzymatic glycosylation reactions, exhibiting a dose-dependent effect. U-LRP-SeNPs at ratios of 1:10 and 1:15 showed better non-enzymatic glycosylation inhibitory activity, with inhibition rates reaching 30% and 20%, respectively. The stability of SeNPs positively contributes to free radical scavenging. Yan Jingkun sonicated a dilute solution of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide LRP (1 mg / mL) at 325 W for 0.05–90 min, analyzing the effects on the structure and chain conformation of LRP. The results showed that short-term sonication (≤1 min) could break up the aggregates and reduce the size of the polysaccharide molecules (the solution changed from turbid to clear). Continued sonication for 5–30 min had little effect on the molecular parameters, only making the particle size distribution more uniform. However, after sonication for 60–90 min, the particle size increased, new aggregates appeared, and the solution became turbid again. The possible reason for this phenomenon is that prolonged ultrasound causes more and more small coils, more intense Brownian motion between polysaccharide molecules, and easier aggregation to form larger aggregates, thereby increasing the particle size and widening the particle size distribution of polysaccharides. In addition, ultrasound does not completely destroy the basic chemical structure and ordered helical structure of LRP, but it may cause the breakage of glycosidic bonds [28-30].After sonicating a concentrated LRP solution (15 mg / mL, exhibiting weak gel properties) for 10, 30, and 60 min, the system first thickened and then thinned. The strength of the LRP gel first increased and then decreased with increasing sonication time. This is because the ability of Tiger Milk Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide LRP to form a temporary network structure first increases and then decreases with increasing sonication time. Furthermore, studies by Li Wengkun et al. found that cultivated and wild products contain the same chemical components such as 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, pentadecane, and heptane in their fat-soluble components, but there are significant differences. Naallathamby et al. also studied... Studies have found that the lipid-soluble substances of Ganoderma lucidum have in vitro antioxidant and antineuritis activities against microglia of the brain, and are non-cytotoxic. Li Jia et al. compared differential genes in mycelium and early sclerotium based on transcripts from three different stages of Ganoderma lucidum, and systematically analyzed that the formation of sclerotium in Ganoderma lucidum is mainly caused by oxidative stress, accompanied by cell wall thickening, polysaccharide and protein synthesis, etc. Cai Wenfei et al. found that the LRP system of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide can be transformed from solution to micelles. LRP solution sonicated at 25℃ for 10 min can form micelles at a low concentration (1.8 mg / mL). Utility Model Content
