Abstract:

Ganoderic acid(GA)is the secondary metabolites from medicinal Ganoderma lucidum and main active component of it,which has been studied deeply in anti-cancer and other medical fields. However,due to the low yield of GAs,long growth cycle of spores and fruiting bodies,and high growth environment requirements,and the submerged liquid fermentation of G. Lucidum was developed. Although some breakthroughs have been made,the problem of low GAs yield is still existed. The analysis and regulation of GAs biosynthesis pathway is of significance for solving low yield in the fermentation of producing GAs. Therefore,this paper reviews the research progress of GAs biosynthesis and metabolic regulation,proposes the direction of future research,and provides a reference for further improving GAs yield through genetic engineering and metabolic pathway regulation.

Key words: ganoderic acids, synthesis metabolism, genetic engineering, metabolic regulation
