Abstract

Scleroglucan is obtained from Sclerotium rolfsii and is widely used in many fields. In this study, transcriptomics combined with metabolomics were used to study the global metabolites and gene changes. The results of the joint analysis showed that the DEGs (differentially expressed genes) and DEMs (differentially expressed metabolites) of SEPS_48 (fermented with sucrose as a carbon source for 48 h) and GEPS_48 (fermented with glucose as a carbon source for 48 h) comparison groups were mainly related to cell metabolism, focusing on carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and amino sugar and nucleoside sugar metabolism. We therefore hypothesized that the significant differences in these metabolic processes were responsible for the differences in properties. Moreover, the joint analysis provides a scientific theoretical basis for fungal polysaccharides biosynthesis and provides new insights into the effects of carbon sources on the production. As an excellent bioenergy and biological product, scleroglucan can be better applied in different fields, such as the food industry.
