Paecilomyces tenuipes (Nunkkot Dongchunghacho) was erroneously treated in three different scientific names: Paecilomyces japonica, Isaria japonica and Paecilomyces tenuipes. Since the fungus has been widely used in various fields of research and industry, its nomenclatural uncertainty caused many problems. Therefore, morphological studies of Korean isolate were carried out and compared with published data on other isolates of P. tenuipes to establish its proper taxonomic position.

최근 들어서 대기오염의 변화, 미세먼지, 황사, 각종 중금속 오염, 방사능 등의 대기오염으로 인하여 인간의 질병에 대한 면역기능이 떨어지고 있다. 또한 바이러스 침입에 의한 면역기능의 약화는 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 항염, 항균, 항암, 항바이러스에 대한 관심이 매우 고조되고 있다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하고 인체의 면역기능을 활성화시키기 위해서는 정신수양과 먹거리의 환경변화가 절실히 요구되어지고 있다. 면역기능을 활성화 시키는데 가장 좋은 식품으로는 야생에서 자생하는 동충하초로 알려져 있다. 이러한 동총하초는 가격이 매우 비싸서 일반적으로 식품으로 활용하기에는 많은 어려움이 따르고 있다. 중국의 해발 3000m 이상에서 야생하는 동충하초를 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 동충하초를 메탄올과 에탄올에서 농축하여 실험을 하였던 결과 에탄올 처리구보다는 메탄올 처리구에서 훨씬 더 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 현상은 총 폴리페놀 함량, 항산화, 항균, 항암활성에서 같은 반응을 보였다. 동충하초의 항균활성은 일반적으로 실험에 사용된 5종(Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa)의 균에서 대부분 억제활성을 나타내었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the cultural characteristics of Paecilomyces tenuipes PJ-1 separated from the nature. We investigated the effect of media, pH and temperature in growth of Paecilomyces tenuipes PJ-1 on solid culture media and the effect of inoculum size, glass beads in liquid culture condition. Paecilomyces tenuipes showed the most favorable growth on PDA among 5 different media. The optimum growth pH and temperature were at pH 6.0 and $25^{\circ}C$ on solid culture. Mycelial growth of P. tenuipes decreased rapidly above $35^{\circ}C$ and under $15^{\circ}C$. In liquid culture, the optimum inoculum size was 10.0% and the SED and PMV value were increased with adding glass bead and glass bead size in the range of glass bead 0~50 ea and size 3, 5 mm.

This study aimed to provide basic evidence regarding the development of materials by analyzing the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of Streptococcus thermophilus KCCM 3782 strain-fermented Cordyceps militaris grown on Tenebrio molitor. Among the solvents tested, DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in the hot water-extracted sample after 30 min of extraction. Moisture content decreased, whereas crude protein and fat content increased, after lactic acid bacteria-mediated fermentation. Sodium, magnesium, calcium, and zinc contents increased, with potassium levels attaining the maximum value, whereas free amino acid content decreased after the fermentation. Among Hunter's color values, a value increased to $66.7{\rightarrow}149.92$ after fermentation, whereas the L and b values decreased to $15.79{\rightarrow}-15.75$ and $54.45{\rightarrow}0.01$, respectively. Cordycepin content assay increased from 7.02 mg% to 8.66 mg%. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the fermented product was 91.92 EDA%, which was higher than that of the extract (84.69 EDA%). The ABTS free radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were also higher in the fermented products.

콩의 배당체 isoflavone류를 생리 활성형 aglycone으로 전환율을 증진시켜 콩 발효식품의 기능성을 증진시키고자, 식용버섯 균사체와 청국장 발효균 B. megateriw SMY-212를 이용하여 단독과 2단계 배양한 발효대두의 메탄올 추출물에 대한 항산화능과 인체 전립선암과 자궁암 세포주의 성장억제 효과를 조사하였다. 2단 발효대두 추출물의 수소공여능 효과는 1,000 $\mu$g/mL 농도에서 17.8∼26.9%로서 단독 발효대두보다 30∼40% 높았으며, 그 중에 동충하초와 SMY-212를 배양한 것이 가장 높았다. Linoleic acid에 대한 항산화 효과는 단독 발효대두는 동충하초가 가장 높았으며, 2단계 배양한 발효대두는 팽이균사체와 SMY-212가 오히려 높게 나타났다. 인체 전립선암 세포주(DU145)와 자궁암 세포주(Hela)에 대한 성장억제 효과는 단독배양에 서 모두 팽이버섯 균사체를 이용한 발효대두가 가장 높았으며, 2단계 배양에서 DU145에서는 팽이버섯과 아가리쿠스 균사체 배양물에 SMY-212를 이용한 발효대두가 높았고, HeLa에서는 팽이버섯, 동충하초, 새 송이버섯 균사체의 추출물 순으로 높았다. 결론적으로 삶은 콩에 버섯 균사체의 단독배양보다는 버섯균사체와 SMY-212를 2단 배양한 발효대두 추출물이 암세포주 성장억제 효과가 높게 나타났다.

There is no specific data on Entomogenous fungus (DongChungHaCho) in accordance with the silkworm varieties, despite of very high value industrial use as functional materials at domestic and abroad. In this study, we investigated culture condition and characteristics of Paecilomyces tenuipes in 3 silkworm cultivars and 2 specific silkworm breeds. Infection rate of P. tenuipes for silkworm varieties was the highest Kumokjam, followed by Baegokjam, Daeseongjam, Golden silk, Yeonnokjam in that order. The optimum culture conditions were as follows: dark condition, $22^{\circ}C{\pm}1$, and about $4cm^2$ in planting density per pupa. Also, we have developed annual production technologies of P. tenuipes. First, in order that the moisture content of the infection pupa became 3% or less in the natural condition. Second, the dried pupa must be vacuum-packed and was kept under $4^{\circ}C$. Finally, by restoring the moisture content of the dried pupa and culture in optimal condition, the technique for annual production of the P. tenuipes was achieved. Therefore, we expect that the use of Kumokjam and annual production technique will contribute significantly to farm income.

Entomopathogenic fungus, Paecilomyces japonicus, has been commercially used as medicinal purpose . The silkworm, Bombyx mori, as an optimal host for the fungi, has been selected and used for the production of the fungal fruit bodies. In current method, newly molted fifth instal larvae should be exposed to the adverse stress environment of high temperature (3$0^{\circ}C$), high relative humidity ( 90%), and starvation for 24h for better fungal inoculation to the host insects. In this study, an alternative method using chemical agent, dexamethasone (DEX: an eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibitor), was tried to get the immunodepressive effect on the larvae to elevate the inoculation rate of the fungi to the silkworm without any harsh rearing environment. DEX (100$\mu\textrm{g}$) showed significantly synergistic effect on the hemocyte lethality of the fungus, and was effective to decrease cellular immune responses measured by the number of hemocyte microaggregation and phenoloxidase activity of the fifth instar larvae in response to the fungal injection. A detergent of 0.05% Triton-X was effective to increase the in- oculation rate of the fungi to the larvae and used in all fungal spraying solutions. Without any environ- mental stress treatment, only DEX (100$\mu\textrm{g}$) injection to the fifth instar larvae followed by the fungal spray was effective to get the inoculation rate equivalent to the current fungal spray method requiring harsh rearing environment. These results suggest that the inoculation of P. japonicus can be elevated by the help of DEX and that the silkworms use eicosanoids to elicit cellular immune response against fungal pathogen.
