Optimization of Submerged Fermentation Conditions for Polysaccharide Production in Species of the Genus Ganoderma (Agaricomycetes) and Comparative Analysis of the Antioxidant Activities of Different Strains.

Species of the genus Ganoderma are important medicinal and edible mushrooms, with polysaccharides being its main active ingredient. The submerged fermentation of Ganoderma is an important source of polysaccharides in the mycelia. In this study, a single factor test and an orthogonal test were employed to optimize the medium and fermentation conditions with the objective of obtaining a high content of polysaccharide in the liquid submerged fermentation culture mycelia of Ganoderma species.

Medicinal Value, Biological Characteristics, and Domestication of the Wild Mushroom Pholiota adiposa (Agaricomycetes).

Pholiota adiposa is an important edible and medicinal mushroom with high nutritional and medicinal effects. The fruiting body of wild fungi collected from Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, was identified by morphological description and molecular identification, the biological characteristics and domestication of the fungus was determined by single factor and orthogonal tests. The wild strain isolated was determined to be Ph.

Atomic Diffusion and Crystal Structure Evolution at the Fe-Ti Interface: Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

The diffusion bonding method is one of the most essential manufacturing technologies for Ti-steel composite plates. In this paper, the atomic diffusion behavior at the Fe-Ti interface during the bonding process of Ti-steel composite plates is studied using classical diffusion theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Henceforth, the diffusion mechanism of Fe and Ti atoms at the bonding interface is obtained at the atomic scale.

Uncovering the genetic diversity of yams ( spp.) in China by combining phenotypic trait and molecular marker analyses.

Yam is an important edible tuber and root plant worldwide; China as one of the native places of yams has many diverse local resources. The goal of this study was to clarify the genetic diversity of the commonly cultivated yam landraces and the genetic relationship between the main yam species in China. In this study, 26 phenotypic traits of 112 yam accessions from 21 provinces in China were evaluated, and 24 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 29 sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used for the genetic diversity analysis.

Two new species of Hymenochaetaceae on from tropical China.

Two new wood-rotting fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae, and , are described and illustrated from tropical China based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. It is worth to mention that both of them grow on which is a kind of angiosperm tree distributed in tropical regions. is characterised by perennial, pileate, triquetrous basidioma with yellowish brown fresh pores which becoming honey yellow with silk sheening upon drying, a dimitic hyphal system in trama and monomitic in context, and subglobose basidiospores measuring 4.

Cultivation and Medicinal Value of the Red Belt Conk Mushroom Fomitopsis pinicola (Agaricomycetes).

This study examined biological characteristics, liquid fermentation, and cultivation of Fomitopsis pinicola. A single-factor test concluded that the optimal carbon and nitrogen sources for mycelial growth were soluble starch and yeast paste; the optimal culture temperature was 31°C, and the optimal pH was 6.0.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the (Willd.) Ohwi (Leguminosae).

(Willd.) Ohwi is an essential traditional oriental medicine with therapeutic effects. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of .

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the Prain et Burkill (Dioscoreaceae).

belongs to Dioscorea genus, which is considered as one of the most popular food and traditional folk medicine in China. The complete chloroplast genome of was determined in this study. The total genome size was 153,219 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,477 bp, which were separated by large single copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) of 83,448 bp and 18,817 bp, respectively.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the (Cucurbitaceae).

is a famous Chinese plant used in traditional food and medicine with pharmacological effects. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of has been determined in this study. The total genome size is 158,834 bp in length and contains a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,288 bp, which were separated by large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) of 87,702 bp and 18,556 bp length, respectively.

Genetic Diversity and Relationships of 24 Strains of Genus Auricularia (Agaricomycetes) Assessed Using SRAP Markers.

Auricularia species are well known for their traditional edible and medicinal importance. In this study, sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and relationships of 24 Auricularia strains obtained from different ecological regions of China. A total of 402 polymorphic loci were detected using 11 SRAP primer combinations with 100% polymorphic loci.
