Abstract
Cordyceps militaris, widely recognized as a medicinal and edible mushroom in East Asia, contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including cordycepin (COR), pentostatin (PTN) and other high-value compounds. This review explores the potential of developing C. militaris as a cell factory for the production of high-value chemicals and nutrients. This review comprehensively summarizes the fermentation advantages, metabolic networks, expression elements, and genome editing tools specific to C. militaris and discusses the challenges and barriers to further research on C. militaris across various fields, including computational biology, existing DNA elements, and genome editing approaches. This review aims to describe specific and promising opportunities for the in-depth study and development of C. militaris as a new chassis cell. Additionally, to increase the practicability of this review, examples of the construction of cell factories are provided, and promising strategies for synthetic biology development are illustrated.
冬虫夏草是东亚地区公认的药用和食用菌,含有多种生物活性化合物,包括虫草素(COR)、喷司他丁(PTN)和其他高价值化合物。这篇综述探讨了开发冬菇作为生产高价值化学品和营养品的细胞工厂的潜力。本综述全面总结了 C. militaris 特有的发酵优势、代谢网络、表达元件和基因组编辑工具,并讨论了在各个领域进一步研究 C. militaris 所面临的挑战和障碍,包括计算生物学、现有 DNA 元件和基因组编辑方法。本综述旨在描述将 C. militaris 作为新底盘细胞进行深入研究和开发的具体而有前景的机会。此外,为了提高本综述的实用性,还提供了构建细胞工厂的实例,并说明了合成生物学发展的可行策略。
