It has been speculated that, in general, fungi do not synthesize agmatine froml -arginine because they do not possess genes encoding arginine decarboxylase. Numerous preclinical studies have shown that agmatine exerts pleiotropic effects on various molecular targets, leading to an improved quality of life. In the present study, we first demonstrated thatl -arginine was a feasible substrate for agmatine production by the fungusAspergillus oryzae RW. We observed that the productivity of agmatine byA. oryzae RW was elevated at low pH only during solid-state cultivation.A. oryzae is utilized in the production of various Asian fermented foods. The saccharification conditions optimized in the current study could be employed not only in the production of an agmatine-containing ethanol-free rice syrup but also in the production of many types of fermented foods, such as soy sauce (shoyu), rice vinegar, etc., as well as for use as novel therapeutic agents and nutraceuticals.
