Article Abstract
In this study, we explored a novel approach to enhancing the production and bioactivities of Ganoderma exopolysaccharides. The homologous phosphomannomutase gene (PMM1) was cloned and overexpressed in Ganoderma for the first time. As a result, the maximum production of exopolysaccharides by the PMM1 transformant was 1.53 g/L, which was 1.41-fold higher than of a wild-type (WT) strain in a 5-L bioreactor. The transcription levels of PMM1 and PMM2 increased 40.5- and 2.4-fold, respectively, whereas the value of the GDP-D-mannose pyrophosphorylase gene did not change significantly in this transgenic strain. Furthermore, the major exopolysaccharide fractions from PMM1 transformants contained higher amounts of mannose (56.5 % and 21.1 %) than those from a WT strain (26.7 % and 9.3 %). Moreover, the major fractions from PMM1 transformants exhibited stronger regulation effects on macrophage. In conclusion, this study is helpful for the efficient production and application of Ganoderma exopolysaccharides and facilitates an understanding of polysaccharide biosynthesis regulation.

Interleucin-1β (IL-1β) is a pivotal cytokine in pro-inflammatory response induction, and it is regarded as protective in various diseases. IL-1β secretion is mainly associated with activation of the inflammasome complex, which normally is tightly regulated, depending on two signals for significant activity. The water insoluble fraction of the mushroom Ganoderma lucidum was extracted and co-cultivated with murine bone-marrow macrophages.

Basidiomycetes, known for their production of bioactive compounds, traditionally use simple sugars for fermentation. However, their ability to degrade complex plant polysaccharides through enzyme secretion presents potential for the use of renewable raw materials. This study focused on the optimization of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production and efficient substrate consumption by Ganoderma lucidum using response surface methodology (RSM).

Polysaccharides with high mannose composition exhibit favorable antitumor activity, but there is currently a lack of well-defined and practical approaches to efficiently manufacture this type of polysaccharide. This study explores the impact of carbon utilization on exopolysaccharide (EPS) production and monosaccharide composition in Ganoderma lucidum, aiming to promote the biosynthesis of polysaccharides with high mannose composition. Sucrose supply significantly increased the mannose proportion to 35.
