Research progress on active components of fungi transforming Chinese materia medica / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Active components of Chinese materia medica (CMM) are the material basis of its efficacy and the keys to realize modernization of CMM. How to improve the content of active ingredients of CMM has become a research hotspot, and microbial transformation is one of its key technologies. The practice has proved that the strains are different, the types of CMM are different, and the transformation effects are different. Therefore, the research on fungal transformation of CMM active ingredients such as terpenes, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, quinones, steroids, organic acids, etc. is reviewed in this study.
