Abstract

There are numerous active terpenoids in Basidiomycota cellular. These active substances have important influence on human nutrition and health. Mevalonate pathway, which can govern biosynthesis of some kinds of terpenoids, is an essential path in regulating secondary metabolism in Basidiomycota cells. However, the production of terpenoids in the cell is very low, and the chemical and biological synthesis methods of active terpenoids are with low efficiency and high cost. Therefore, in order to increase the output of terpenoids substances, this paper introduced some key substances, Acetyl-CoA, HMG-CoA, MVK, and their influences on biosynthesis of terpenoids, aiming at improving target terpenoids production by adjusting and controlling these substances.
