Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a multifunctional plasma mutation system (MPMS) to create mutations of Cordyceps militaris that produce higher levels of cordycepin, a valuable compound.
- The strain GYS60 showed exceptional results, with a cordycepin yield of 7.883 mg/mL, over 20 times higher than the wild strain, while another mutant, GYS80, produced nearly no cordycepin.
- The extraction and purification process of cordycepin from GYS60 involved using macroporous resin and reversed-phase chromatography, achieving a 95% purity with a total recovery rate of 90%.
