Abstract

Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12, an endophytic fungus from Dioscorea zingiberensis, is a high producer of the spirobisnaphthalene diepoxin ζ. However, diepoxin ζ produced by Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12 was retained as both the intracellular and extracellular product. This study was to evaluate an in situ resin adsorption for enhancement of diepoxin ζ production in mycelial liquid culture of Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12. Diepoxin ζ production was most effectively enhanced by macroporous resin AB-8 among five test resins. The highest diepoxin ζ yield reached 448.6 mg l−1 that was 1.4 fold of the control (329.7 mg l−1), when 1.5 g of resin AB-8 was added to 30 ml medium in each flask on day 11 of culture and in a period of 40 h for adsorption. The results show that in situ resin adsorption is an effective strategy for enhancing diepoxin ζ production and also facilitating its recovery in mycelial liquid culture of Berkleasmium sp. Dzf12.
