Injection method of Paecilomyces japonica to Antheraea pernyi pupal body was investigated on feasibility for production of the corresponding vegetable wasp and plant worm. Infection rate of P. japonica to the pupae was 100%, and also fruiting body formation rate was 97%. The initial pupal body weight of 9.38 g befor injection of P. japonica to the pupae was finally reduced to 7.87g after two weeks in vivo culture. From these results, the injection method to pupal body will be useful for the production of Antheraea vegetable wasp and plant worm in future.

Effects of photoperiods, 24L or 24D, on the growth of the silkworm-dongchunghacho, the silkworm vegetable wasp and plant worm, were investigated. Exposure of the fungi under the photoperiod of 24L for at least 3 days during the cultivation of the fungi after the completion of endosclerotium in the host accelerated the spore formations but the growth of the fruiting bodies was inhibited. On the contrary, the photoperiod of 24D inhibited the spore formation, but accelerated the growth of fruiting bodies without spores. Accordingly, to produce silkworm vegetable wasp and plant worm of large-size fruiting bodies with over 3 cm in length, it is indicated that recommendable light condition is a photoperiod of 24D during the cultivation until the length of the fruiting body arrives at over 3 cm.

The genomic structure of the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene from the entomopathogenic fungus, Cordyceps pruinosa was characterized. The SOD1 gene of C. pruinosa spans 947 nucleotides and consisted of four exons encoding for 154 amino acids and three introns. Four exons of the SOD1 gene are composed of 13, 331, 97 and 20 nucleotides respectively. Homology search of amino acid sequences of the SOD1 gene of C. pruinosa with another 13 fungi species showed higher sequence similarity of 69% ~ 95% and had the most highest sequence identity of 95% with Beauveria bassiana and Cordyceps militaris, which can easely infect domesticated Bombyx mori and another wild lepidopteran species in artificial or natual manner of infection. This SOD1 gene sequence showed copper, zinc and beta-barrel fold sites. Homology search showed that the Cu/Zn SOD1 gene from the entomopathogenic fungus, C. pruinosa is an orthologous gene homolog present in different species of organism whose ancestor predates the split between the relating species. In addition, C. pruinosa SOD1 gene is placed together within the ascomycetes group of fungal clade. From these results it is concluded that C. pruinosa SOD1 gene is orthologous gene having the same or very similar functions with a common evolutionary ancestor.

동충하초는 예로부터 아시아권에서 한방약재로 사용되어 온 곤충병원성진균이다. 이 중 노린재동충하초(Cordyceps nutans)는 자연 상태에서 비교적 많이 발견되나 이에 대한 연구가 미미한 편이다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 C. nutans 균사체의 최적 배양 조건을 확립하고 배양액 처치 시대식세포의 NO (nitric oxide) 생성 억제 효능을 조사하였다. 균사 생육 적정 온도는 $25^{\circ}C$이었으며 pH는 7.0~8.0 사이의 중성범위로 조사되었다. MCM (mushroom complete medium), V8A (V8 juice agar), YMD (yeast malt dextrose) 배지에서는 균사 생육이 우수하였으나 MMM (mushroom minimal medium) 배지의 경우 균사 생육이 이루어지지 않아 영양원이 필수적이었다. 영양원 선발에 있어 탄소원은 dextrose와 sucrose가 적합하였고 질소원은 ammonium citrate가 균사 생장에 적합하였다. RAW 264.7 세포에 대한 C. nutans 배양액의 세포 독성은 나타나지 않았으며 LPS (lipopolysaccharide)를 처리 한 세포의 NO 생성량은 농도 의존적으로 줄어들었다. 따라서 본 실험 결과는 C. nutans 배양 시 다량의 균사체를 확보할 수 있는 최적 조건을 제공할 뿐 아니라 C. nutans의 항염 관련 우수한 생리 활성이 있음을 보여준다.
