The aim of this study was to evaluate the application potential of a recombinant fungal immunomodulatory protein from (rFIP-glu). First, a recombinant plasmid pPIC9K::FIP-glu-His was transferred into for the production of protein. The protein was then to assess its free radical scavenging abilities and the effect on the viability of both human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and mouse B16-F10 melanoma cells (B16 cells) , followed by the effect on the melanin synthesis of B16 cells.

Highland barley, a typical nutrition-balanced crop, is not convenient for direct consumption but its nutritional characteristics meet the modern requirements of health food. In the present study, barley grains were used as substrates on solid-state fermentation (SSF) of G.

In order to obtain a better fermentation parameter for the production of recombinant immunomodulatory protein (rFIP-glu), an engineered GS115 was investigated on the fermentation time, temperature, methanol concentration and initial pH of media, while immunomodulatory activities of the rFIP-glu was confirmed. L(3) orthogonal experiment were firstly employed to optimize various fermentation parameters in the shake-flask level. The optimized fermentation parameters were subsequently verified in a 5 L fermenter.
