BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Over the last decade, Agaricus blazei Murrill has been studied and developed as a novel functional food in Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan. Due to the low yields, the fruiting bodies of A. blazei Murrill are relatively expensive, and a cheap and stable source of A. blazei Murrill mycelium for commercial purposes is highly desirable. Culture media and conditions were inves...

Phellinus baumii is a mushroom used as a folk medicine for a variety of human diseases in several Asian countries. Recently we have reported for the first time about the antidiabetic effect of the crude exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced from submerged mycelial culture of P. baumii in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The diabetic rats study revealed that orally administrated P. baumii...

Streptomyces sp. (strain SS12) was isolated from terrestrial soil of western U.P., India and found to exhibit antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Optimization of physical and chemical parameters for antibiotic production in submerged fermentation resulted in 1.75 fold increase in production level in terms of inhibition zone diameter. The bioactive compound was ...

Production of different pectinolytic enzymes was attempted using the actinomycete strain Streptomyces lydicus in submerged fermentation. Polygalacturonase and pectin lyase activities were detected in the culture supernatant, but the strain was not able to produce pectin esterase. Polygalacturonase production was studied in submerged, slurry-state and solid-state fermentation systems. All the ex...

The xylanase production by a new Cochliobolus sativus Cs5 strain was improved under submerged fermentation. The xylanase was induced by xylan and repressed by glucose, sucrose, maltose, xylose, starch and cellulose. Highest enzyme production (98.25 IU/mL) was recorded when wheat straw (4 % by mass per volume) was used as a carbon source after 120 h of incubation. NaNO3 increased xylanase produc...

Fungal cultures were isolated from soil samples collected from the Western Ghats regions of Kerala. Primary screening of isolated strains were done by Sudan black staining method and 15 lipid producing cultures were isolated. The fatty acid profiling of the positive strains were analyzed for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production. Selected oleaginous cultures were grown in submerged culture cond...

Submerged Cells The formation of a liquid meniscus in submerged cell cultures is common, but its impact on vitro particle dosimetry has been overlooked. In article number 2206903, through experiments and mathematical modeling, Sandor Balog, Alke Petri-Fink, co-workers identify key factors influencing nanoparticle dose observe significant gradient between the center wall culture plates.

Foster, McDaniel, Woodruff, and Stokes (1945) recently described the formation of conidia by molds of the genus Penicillium during submerged growth in liquid culture media. Controlling or associated factors for this phenomenon were described as the presence of a rather high calcium-ion concentration and, in general, the development of considerably less mycelium before spore formation than is fo...

BACKGROUND Cordyceps cicadae is known as Jin Chan Hua in Traditional Chinese Medicine and known to possess different pharmacological activities. Presently, it was collected from the wild and isolated. Mycelial culture was optimized for extraction of polysaccharides under submerged culture conditions. Besides antioxidant, antibacterial activities of extracted polysaccharides were tested for firs...
