TriterpeneS is the key pharmacologically active ingredient of Ganoderma lingzhi. Submerged fermentation is viewed as a promising alternative for efficient production of triterpenes of Ganoderma lingzhi. In this paper, the research progress on the strain screening, fermentation media, process technology, fermentation kinetics, the related key enzyme and genes oftriterpenes biosynthesis were reviewed. In addition, the future relevant research on triterpenes ...
