Potential utilization of edible insects as nitrogen sources on growth characteristics and bioactive compound production in Isaria tenuipes
Abstract:Importance of the work: Isaria tenuipes is an entomopathogenic fungus that has been used as a traditional medicine due to its biochemical and pharmaceutical properties. Preliminary research revealed that medium supplemented with insects promoted mycelial growth and cordycepin production. Objectives: To evaluate the suitability of edible insects as a substrate for I. tenuipes cultivation and to investigate the mycelial growth, formation of fruiting bodies and concentrations of cordycepin and adenosine.
