Polyhydroxylated steroids and triterpenoids from an entophytic fungus, Hypocreales sp. NCHU01 isolated from Tuber magnatum

The submerged mushroom fermentation process has been used to obtain the mycelial biomass and metabolites for the production of pharmaceutical compounds. In this study, the approach was developed to produce mycelial biomass and triterpenoids in the submerged culture of the truffle entophytic fungus Hypocreales sp. NCHU01. The carbon and nitrogen sources were found to significantly influence the biomass and triterpenoid production. In the carbon...
