Abstract:
Objective: To study the biotransformation of Poria cocos by Ganoderma lucidum and the changes of total polysaccharide and total triterpenes contents of the biotransformation products. Method: The experiment uses the microwave method to extract and sulfuric acid-phenol method to measure total polysaccharide content. And the ultrasonic wave method was used to extract total triterpenes and the content was measured by vanillin-perchloric method. Result: After treatment by G. lucidum, the total polysaccharide and triterpenes content of the biotransformation products were significantly higher than the non-conversed P. cocos (P<0.01), showing that the original performance of P. cocos was changed by way of biotransformation of G. lucidum; P. cocos had a promotion effect on the growth of G. lucidum. Conclusion: Biotransformation of P. cocos for Increasing the total polysaccharide and triterpenes contents by using G. lucidum has advantages of simple, low cost and so on. This method has a certain application value in modernization of Chinese traditional medicine.
