Effects of mating-type ratio imbalance on the degeneration of Cordyceps militaris subculture and preventative measures

mycolabadmin

Cordyceps militaris is a medicinal fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine that has healing properties but degenerates quickly when repeatedly cultured in laboratories. This research found that the loss of genetic mating-type information during subculturing is the main cause of this degeneration. By separately culturing different genetic types and mixing them before production, or by using stable single genetic-type strains, farmers can maintain consistent quality fruiting bodies for harvest and medicinal use.

Bioactive Steroids Bearing Oxirane Ring

mycolabadmin

This research reviews special types of steroids that contain oxirane rings, which are highly reactive chemical structures found in marine organisms, fungi, and plants. These compounds have shown promise in treating various diseases including cancer, inflammation, and high cholesterol. Scientists used computer software to predict and analyze the biological activities of over 150 different epoxy steroids, categorizing them by the position of their oxirane ring. The findings suggest these natural compounds could be valuable for developing new medicines and understanding how chemicals interact with our bodies.
