Objective: To examine the mutants of Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Os) in the stroma of premature Cordyceps sinensis (Cs).
Methods: Used MassARRAY single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) MALDI-TOF mass spectrum genotyping, designed eight SNP extension primers on the basis of the scattered, multiple point mutations of known Os mutants within their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) segments, and examined the Os mutant genotypes relating to the GC-biased Os genotype (gb #AB067721) in premature Cs stroma.
Results: The two AT-biased genotypes and the GC-biased Os were simultaneously detected in premature Cs stroma. SNP genotyping also detected at least two other Os genotypes of unknown sequences.
Conclusion: Coexistence of the three known Os genotypes indicates the existence of possible transition point mutations within Os genes during germination and early maturation of Cs. Simultaneous detection of at least two unknown genotypes coexisting with those known mutants possibly evidences the transversion mutations within Os genes.

Cordycepin, a key bioactive compound produced by Cordyceps militaris, faces the challenge of low productivity for commercial use. In this study, alanine supplementation in Cordyceps militaris boosted cordycepin production, peaking at 3 mg/g with 12 g/L concentration. Transcriptome analysis revealed 1711 differentially expressed genes, Pathway analysis indicates that protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum was the most affected pathway.

Gut bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could be released into the circulatory system via the gut-liver axis and cause inflammatory immune response, while Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide (CMP40) has been reported to be effective in alleviating this inflammatory response. In this study, the effects of CMP40 gut fermentation on internal LPS structure formation and the subsequent immune response were explored. Results showed that CMP40 could change antigenicity of LPS of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enterica, and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, indicated by a reduced level of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.
