Growth promotive conditions for enhanced eritadenine production during submerged cultivation of Lentinus edodes

TLDR
In this article, a water extract of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was added to the culture media to increase the mycelial biomass and in turn the production of eritadenine.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Mycelium of the medicinal mushroom shiitake, Lentinus edodes, is a potential source for production of the blood cholesterol reducing compound eritadenine. To increase the mycelial biomass and in turn the production of eritadenine, a potential growth promoting substance in the form of a water extract of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was added to the culture media. RESULTS: The hot water extract of DDGS was shown to considerably increase the growth of shiitake mycelia in bioreactor cultivations; the mycelial yield was 2–3 times higher than in the control, and the highest final biomass concentration obtained was 3.4 g L−1. Further, by using shake flask cultures as inoculums the bioreactor cultivation time could be reduced by 1 week for some of the experiments. The highest final titer of eritadenine in the present study was 25.1 mg L−1, which was about 2 times higher than in the control, and was also obtained when a water extract of DDGS was added to the culture medium. CONCLUSION: It was demonstrated that a water extract of DDGS promoted the growth of shiitake mycelia in bioreactor cultivations, along with enhanced eritadenine production.

Enhancement of eritadenine production using three carbon sources, immobilization and surfactants in submerged culture with shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) (Berk.) Singer)

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of three carbon sources (mannitol, minced potato and sucrose), two immobilization substrates (alginate and wood cylinders), and three surfactants (Tween 20, Tween 40 and Tween 80), were evaluated on eritadenine production using shiitake (Lentinula edodes) mycelium under submerged cultivation, in shake flasks within 20 days.

Molecular identification of Shiitake [Lentinula edodes Berk (Pegler)] and production of secondary metabolites with biotechnological potential

TL;DR: Low genetic diversity in the four shiitake isolates were identified, corresponding to two haplotypes with minimal genetic difference between them, related to the Japanese strain Cr62, indicating that Colombian farmers cultivate almost the same strains of shitake.

Effect of initial pH on production of ganoderic acid and polysaccharide by submerged fermentation of Ganoderma lucidum

TL;DR: The effects of initial pH on simultaneous production of ganoderic acid and a polysaccharide by the fungus Ganoderma lucidum were investigated in shake flasks and lowering the initial pH from 6.5 to 3.5 gradually led to a higher production of extracellular poly Saccharide and a higher specific production of intracellular poly saccharide.

Role of oxygen supply in submerged fermentation of Ganoderma lucidum for production of Ganoderma polysaccharide and ganoderic acid

TL;DR: The cell growth of G. lucidum was significantly inhibited when DOT was controlled ∼10% of air saturation, which was due to the oxygen limitation in mycelia aggregates, and the total production and productivity of IPS and GA at a low DOT were lower than those at a high DOT.
