The transcriptome analysis on urea response mechanism in the process of ergosterol synthesis by Cordyceps cicadae

Abstract Nitrogen source is required for the growth of Cordyceps cicadae and involved in the regulation of metabolite synthesis. In order to further investigate the regulatory effects of nitrogen sources on the ergosterol synthesis by C. cicadae. We first confirmed that urea could significantly incr...
