경제적 부가 가치가 높은 붉은자루동충하초의 안정적 대량생산 기틀을 마련하고자 자실체 증식 특성 및 자실체 성분 분석을 한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 붉은자루동충하초의 감염률은 관행인 누에 5령 기잠시 분무 접종하는 방법보다 번데기 시기에 주사접종 하는 방법이 높았다. 2. 붉은자루동충하초의 자실체 발생은 온도 $21{sim}25^{circ}C$, 습도 91% 이상, 광 1500 lx 이상에서 양호하였다. 3. 붉은자루동충하초의 유리당 함량은 Glucose가 7.9 mg으로 가장 많았으며, 다음이 Sucrose 이었으며 Glycerol과 Mannitol은 미량 검출되었다. 4. 붉은자루동충하초의 누에 자실체에 함유된 아미노산의 총 함량은 $34.6{mu}mole/g$이며, 16종의 구성 아미노산중 Arginine이 15.6%로 가장 높았으며, Lysine이 3.4%로 가장 낮게 분포하였다. 5. 붉은자루동충하초의 누에 자실체 유리 지방산 조성은 Oleic acid 함량이 가장 많았으며, Palmitoeic acid는 소량 함유되어 있었다. 6. 붉은자루동충하초의 누에 자실체 유기산 조성은 Citric acid가 가장 많았으며, Malic acid와 Propionic acid는 미량 존재하였다.
Fruiting bodies of Cordyceps have been regarded as popular folk and effective medicines to treat human diseases such as asthma, bronchial and lung inflammation, and kidney disease. Cordyceps pruinosa (Clavicipitaceae; Hypocreales; Ascomycotina) has received special attention for medicinal purpose due to its various physiological activites. The nucleoside derivative N6-(2-hydroxyethyl) adenosine (HEA) isolated from it showed a $Ca^{2+}$ antagonistic effect and negative inotropic response. The artificial production of fruiting body of C. pruinosa has not been tried successfully yet by using living silkworm substrate. To develop techniques for the production of C. pruinosa stromata on a large scale, the infection of Bombyx mori with C. pruinosa and the growth characteristics of stroma of C. pruinosa were investigated. Also, studied about biological activities of fruiting body formed on silkworm. Infection rate of the silkworm pupae with C. pruinosa was the highest in injection inoculation. The formation of the fruiting body of C. pruinosa was quite good in the room controlled at $21{sim}25^{circ}C$, over 91% of relative humidity and over 1500 lx. Glucose concentration was high in the fruiting bodies of the silkworm pupae infected with C. pruinosa on a dry weight basis. The most abundant amino acid in the fruiting bodies was arginine and phenylalanine. The fruiting bodies of silkworm pupae infected with C. pruinosa was rich in oleic acid. The high amount of citric acid was found in the fruiting bodies of silkworm pupae infected with C. pruinosa.
