Abstract

|
A Cordyceps militaris NBRC 10352-3 strain that was isolated from C. militaris NBRC10352 produced 68 mg of cordycepin from 100 mL of medium, which was the highest level of cordycepin among 60 isolates from three C. militaris (NBRC 9787, 100741 and 103752) strains. Interestingly, a liquid surface culture of C. militaris NBRC 103752-3 produced 2-fold cordycepin to that in a submerged culture. Cordycepin production was significantly affected by specific surface area (SSA) in the liquid surface culture, and 120.9 mg of cordycepin was produced on SSA of 1.57/cm (from 50 mL medium). The addition of glycine and adenine as an additive to its culture medium was optimized by an experimental design. When 6.75 g/L of adenine was added to the culture, 312.2 mg of cordycepin (apparent concentration: 6.2 g/L) was produced from 50 mL medium, improving the cordycepin production by 4.6-fold. In this study, the production and productivity of cordycepin were significantly improved in C. militaris wild type by a single cell colony isolation and additives without adopting any mutational technologies. This C. militaris NBRC 10352-3 strain can be used as a new cordycepin-hyperproducing one, instead of a cordycepin-hyperproducing mutant.
