Effects of various carbon sources and carbon/nitrogen ratios on production of a useful bioactive metabolite, cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine), by submerged cultivation of a Chinese traditional medicinal mushroom Cordyceps militaris were investigated in shake flasks. The carbon sources examined were la...
