Isolation of bacteria from Grifola frondosa cultivation on wood logs to find mycelial growth-promoting bacteria.

This study aimed to isolate bacteria that coexist with the edible mushroom Grifola frondosa when it is cultured on wood, and to determine their interactions; in turn, the aim was to find bacteria that stimulate mycelial growth so as to decrease the time required for spawn preparation on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Some Pseudomonas, Dyella, Bacillus, and Priestia spp. isolated from the cultivation surroundings of G.

A finding of potential coexisting bacteria and characterization of the bacterial communities in the fruiting body of Sarcodon aspratus.

Sarcodon aspratus (Berk.) S. Ito is a Japanese local dish with unique aroma and is effective against allergic diseases.

Upregulation of MAP kinase HOG1 gene of white-rot fungus Phlebia sp. MG-60 inhibits the ethanol fermentation and mycelial growth.

Wood biomass conversion for fossil resource replacement could result in the sustainable production of chemicals, although lignin represents an obstacle to efficient polysaccharide use. White-rot fungus Phlebia sp. MG-60 reportedly selectively and aerobically degrades lignin in hardwood, then it begins cellulose saccharification from the delignified wood to produce ethanol.

Nuclear behavior in from Japan and estimation of the lifecycle.

In order to elucidate the lifecycle of , we examined the number of nuclei in basidiospores, hyphal cells and oidia. Basidiospores isolated from the fruiting bodies of four Japanese strains were binucleate. In both primary and secondary mycelia, most of the cells were binucleate.
