Enhanced Ganoderic Acids Accumulation and Transcriptional Responses of Biosynthetic Genes in <i>Ganoderma lucidum</i> Fruiting Bodies by Elicitation Supplementation
Ganoderic acids (GAs) are a type of highly oxygenated lanostane-type triterpenoids that are responsible for the pharmacological activities of <i>Ganoderma lucidum</i>. They have been investigated for their biological activities, including antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor, anti-HIV-1,...
