Article Synopsis
- The study highlights a new coculture method using actinomycetes and mouse macrophage-like cells to boost the production of bioactive compounds.
- A specific black koji mold (IFM 61405) significantly increased the production of several acids when grown alongside J774.1 mouse macrophage cells, showing dramatic gains compared to monoculture.
- The research indicates that a protease from the koji mold is crucial for this increased production and that proteins from animal cells might serve as precursors, with protease inhibitors reducing the output of these compounds.
