Abstract in brief

  • The study focuses on a specific entomopathogenic fungus known for its use in traditional medicine in Asia, exploring its potential for producing a compound called cordycepin, which is important for medicinal applications.
  • Researchers developed a detailed genome-scale metabolic model (NR1329) that includes 1329 genes and is capable of simulating growth accurately based on experimental data, aiming to enhance understanding of the fungus's metabolism.
  • Using a novel method called POPCORN, they optimized synthetic media to improve growth and increased cordycepin production by 3.5 times, showcasing a new approach for metabolic engineering and media design, with resources available on GitHub.
