Analysis of Biochemical and Genetic Variability of Based on the β-Glucans and CDDP Markers.

Oyster mushroom () is still one of the most cultivated edible and medicinal mushrooms. Despite its frequent cultivation around the world, there is currently just a little information available on the variability of strains in terms of the content of β-glucans in them. This work presents an extensive study of 60 strains in terms of the content of α-glucans and β-glucans in their caps and stipes.
