The biodiversity of Paecilomyces cicadae

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to study the feasible evaluation of Paecilomyces cicadae abroad development. With the classical methods, some physiological and biochemical indexes were tested. combining with the reference information, we could get follow results: 1, In virtue of its high content of cordycep polysaccharide, Paecilomyces cicadae has been successfully developed as modern traditional chinese pharmacy. 2, It could be developed to biocontrol fungus because of its drought-resistance, UV-Resistant, high activities of chitinase, proteinase, and lysozyme, and heterokaryon or diploid strain with high pathogenicity. 3, It could be developed as health-care foods and cosmetic products basing on its bioactive substances, such as hyaluronic acid, polysaturated fatty acids, SOD、 POD、 lysozyme, protein, amino acids, nucleoside, mannitol, ergosterol, etc. Especially, Paecilomyces cicadae which came from different ecological conditions had physiological, biochemical, and genetic diversities. So, we could screen and cultivate high functional strains according to our development purpose.
