Enhanced Yield of Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Activities in Four Fermented Beans of Phellinus linteus Strains (Agaricomycetes) by Solid-State Fermentation.

Phellinus linteus is a famous medicinal mushroom which exhibits various biological activities. This study aimed to investigate the effects of solid-state fermentation by Ph. linteus on the yield of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities of beans.

Optimal Liquid Inoculum Conditions and Grain Medium Enhanced Hispidin Production by Species of Genus Phellinus (Agaricomycetes) in Solid-State Fermentation.

This study aimed 1) to screen a high hispidin production strain from 12 strains of genus Phellinus and 2) to evaluate the effects of liquid inoculum conditions and grain medium on this strain's hispidin production levels after solid-state fermentation. The results showed that Ph. linteus 04 led to the highest hispidin production; this strain was then selected to elucidate the optimal liquid inoculum conditions and grain medium for hispidin production.

Influences of carbon and nitrogen source addition, water content, and initial pH of grain medium on hispidin production of Phellinus linteus by solid-state fermentation.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of certain grain medium conditions, such as carbon and nitrogen source addition, water content, and initial pH, on the hispidin production of Phellinus linteus using solid-state fermentation. The results showed that the highest hispidin yield, specific productivity of hispidin, and total content of hispidin were associated with sucrose and malt extract addition, 55% water content, and an initial pH of 5.5, which resulted in 0.

Biological efficiency and nutritional value of the culinary-medicinal mushroom cultivated on a sawdust basal substrate supplement with different proportions of grass plants.

was cultivated on a sawdust basal substrate supplemented with different proportions (30%, 45%, and 60%, respectively) of stalks of three grass plants, i.e., (PRS), (PPS), and (ZMS), to determine the most effective substrate.

Mycelium Alleviates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury through Autophagic Regulation.

The incidence of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is rapidly increasing around the world and this disease is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. It is known that regulation of programmed cell death including apoptosis and autophagy reduces the impact of myocardial IR injury. In this study, the cardioprotective effects and underlying mechanisms of (Berk.

Effects of Illumination Pattern during Cultivation of Fruiting Body and Bioactive Compound Production by the Caterpillar Medicinal Mushroom, Cordyceps militaris (Ascomycetes).

We investigated the effects of light intensity in the 3 cultivation stages separately-the mycelium colonization stage, the primordial initiation stage, and the fruiting stage (in order)-on fruiting body and bioactive compound production by Cordyceps militaris. In the mycelium colonization stage, rice substrates were incubated in a spawn running room at 23°C. During the primordial initiation stage, C.

Various grain substrates for the production of fruiting bodies and bioactive compounds of the medicinal caterpillar mushroom, Cordyceps militaris (Ascomycetes).

In this study, several grains such as brown rice (Br), plumule rice (Pr), wheat (W) and pearl barley (Pb) supplemented with 1% (w/w) peptone (P), yeast extract (Ye), ammonia sulfate (As), and monosodium glutamate (Mg) as a nitrogen source, respectively, were used to produce fruiting bodies and bioactive compounds of two strains of Cordyceps militaris. Among these grain substrates, the substrate most suitable to mycelial growth was Pb+Ye for C. militaris H and L.

Effect of light and atmosphere on the cultivation of the golden oyster culinary-medicinal mushroom, Pleurotus citrinopileatus (higher Basidiomycetes).

With an aim to explore the productivity and quality of the fruiting body of culinary-medicinal golden oyster mushroom Pleurotus citrinopileatus, the carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration of the ambient atmosphere was adjusted and a light-emitting diode panel was used to illuminate the colonized mycelium at different wavelengths. Biological efficiency and yield were higher at CO₂ levels of 0.05 and 0.

Cultivation of the culinary-medicinal Lung Oyster mushroom, Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fr.) Quél. (Agaricomycetideae) on grass plants in Taiwan.

Cultivation of the culinary-medicinal Lung Oyster mushroom, Pleurotus pulmonarius, on the stalks of three grass plants, i.e., Panicum repens, Pennisetum purpureum, and Zea mays were investigated.
