Research Efficacy Snapshot
Published efficacy percentages cited in PubMed trials and named-expert reports about Cordyceps. Each line links to the original source.
- "OmniEdit achieved the first CRISPR-based precise point mutation (∼4-5% efficiency) in this fungus." · Liu M et al, 2026 PubMed
- "It enabled the surgical excision of an entire ∼26 kb BGC (∼10% efficiency) and efficient one-step dual-gene knockout (∼30% efficiency)." · Liu M et al, 2026 PubMed
- "The derived optimal conditions (40 g L- 1 glucose, 24 g L- 1 peptone, 0.7 g L- 1 Mg2+, 2% (v/v) inoculation, pH 8) were validated, achieving a cordycepin yield of 212.00 mg L- 1." · Liu J et al, 2026 PubMed
- "This result closely matched the model prediction and represented a 46.18% increase compared with the initial yield of 145.03 mg L- 1, demonstrating the strategy's effectiveness for boosting production efficiency and potential for industrial application." · Liu J et al, 2026 PubMed
- "Maximal increase in fresh (99%) and dry weight (10%) was recorded on substrate supplemented with 10 ppm iron sulfate nanoparticles." · Vardhan S et al, 2026 PubMed
- "Adenosine and cordycepin contents increased by up to 72% and 370%, respectively, at 20 ppm nanoparticle treatment, while iron content in fruiting bodies rose by up to 92% on iron nanoparticle supplemented substrate." · Vardhan S et al, 2026 PubMed
- "Kinetic modeling indicated that native and recombinant CML showed a preference for the sn-3 position over all other sn positions of TC by 98% and 70%, respectively." · Park J et al, 2026 PubMed
