Effects of branched-chain amino acids on Shiraia perylenequinone production in mycelium cultures

Abstract Background Perylenequinones from Shiraia fruiting bodies are excellent photosensitizers and widely used for anti-cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT). The lower yield of Shiraia perylenequinones becomes a significant bottleneck for their medical application. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)...
