Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of sawdust extract from Castanopsis cuspidata and various compounds on enzyme expression in Lentinula edodes, a type of fungus.
- MYPG media infused with sawdust significantly boosted mycelial growth and altered manganese peroxidase (MnP) production, with optimal results seen in high sawdust concentrations (MYPG-S500).
- The addition of certain aromatic compounds and copper ions had a complex impact, blocking MnP production while promoting laccase (Lcc) production in specific conditions.
The biodiversity of saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetous macrofungi growing on seven islands in central Japan were compared to examine colonizing success within the context of island biogeography theory. Two hypotheses were tested: that the number of the fungal species depends on island area and that the slope of the species-area curve for saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal macrofungi differ in response to differences in their nutritional requirements. Data for the number of species that were identified based on sporocarps closely fit the conventional species-area curve.

A cell adhesion molecule, 80-kDa csA, is involved in EDTA-resistant cell contact at the aggregation stage of Dictyostelium discoideum. A 31-kDa csA was isolated from the 80-kDa csA by treatment with Achromobacter protease I. Results from thin-layer chromatography and MALDI-TOF MS analysis indicated that the 31-kDa csA contains ceramide as a component of glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI).
