Effects of medicinal insect Catharsius molossus on submerged fermentation and in vivo anti-hepatoma activity of Ganoderma lucidum
药用昆虫蜣螂对灵芝发酵和抗小鼠肝癌活性的影响

We studied the effects of Catharsius molossus(a Chinese medicinal insect) on the cell growth,fermentation kinetics of key bioactive substances and anti-cancer activity of Ganoderma lucidum in submerged fermentation.The results showed that C.molossus at all the tested concentrations had no stimulatory effect on the cell growth.However,addition of C.molossus at 5 g/L lead to significant effects on the fermentation kinetics of polysaccharides and triterpenoids of G.lucidum,and at 7th day in fermentation proces...
