Development of Stephania tetrandra S. MOORE hairy root culture process for tetrandrine production.

Tetrandrine, a bioactive active compound mainly found in the roots of Stephania tetrandra, exhibits various pharmacological properties. In vitro hairy root (HR) culture may serve as a promising solution for the extraction of tetrandrine, overcoming the limitations of natural cultivation. The present study describes the consistent production of tetrandrine from S.

Intestinal Microbiota, Anti-Inflammatory, and Anti-Oxidative Status of Broiler Chickens Fed Diets Containing Mushroom Waste Compost By-Products.

This study investigated the effects of using mushroom waste compost as the residue medium for planting, which was used as a feed replacement; its consequent influence on broiler chickens' intestinal microbiota, anti-inflammatory responses, and anti-oxidative status was likewise studied. A total of 240 male broilers were used and allocated to four treatment groups: the basal diet-control group (corn-soybean); 5% replacement of a soybean meal via PWMC ( Schum No. 2 waste mushroom compost); 5% replacement of a soybean meal via FPW ( fermented PWMC); 5% replacement of a soybean meal via PP ( Schum No.

The Potential Utilization of High-Fiber Agricultural By-Products as Monogastric Animal Feed and Feed Additives: A Review.

With the increase in world food demand, the output of agricultural by-products has also increased. Agricultural by-products not only contain more than 50% dietary fiber but are also rich in functional metabolites such as polyphenol (including flavonoids), that can promote animal health. The utilization of dietary fibers is closely related to their types and characteristics.

Evaluation of Waste Mushroom Compost as a Feed Supplement and Its Effects on the Fat Metabolism and Antioxidant Capacity of Broilers.

Schum No. waste mushroom compost (PWMC) is the main byproduct when cultivating . Due to the high mycelium levels in PWMC, it may have potential as a feed supplement for broilers.

Effect of Different Proportions of Agrowaste on Cultivation Yield and Nutritional Composition of the Culinary-Medicinal Jelly Mushroom Auricularia polytricha (Higher Basidiomycetes).

In this study, Auricularia polytricha was cultivated on a sawdust basal substrate supplemented with different proportions (30%, 45%, and 60%, respectively) of agrowastes-sugarcane bagasse (SB), rice straw (RS), and rice husk (RH)-to evaluate the alternative substrates. The mycelial growth rate, total colonization time, time to first primordia, biological efficiency, and chemical composition of the fruiting bodies were determined. Results indicated that the 60% SB substrate was the best substrate for mycelial growth of A.

Crude extracts of Agaricus brasiliensis induce apoptosis in human oral cancer CAL 27 cells through a mitochondria-dependent pathway.

In Taiwan, oral cancer is the fourth leading cause of male cancer mortality, and is still increasing. The Basiodiomycete, Agaricus brasiliensis Murill (ABM) is a dietary mushroom and has been known for its immuneenhancing, antitumor, antioxidation, antiviral and antimutagenesis functions. However, the exact anticancer mechanisms of ABM on human oral cancer cells are still unclear.

Fungichromin: a substance from Streptomyces padanus with inhibitory effects on Rhizoctonia solani.

Streptomyces padanus strain PMS-702 is an antagonist of Rhizoctonia solani AG-4, the causal agent of damping-off of cabbage. Treatment of cabbage seeds with the culture filtrate of S. padanus strain PMS-702 was effective in reducing the incidence of damping-off of cabbage.
