Flammulina velutipes enjoys high popularity as an edible mushroom in Asian cuisines. Investigating the secretion of peptidases in nutrient media enriched with gluten, an enzyme was noticed that catalyzed the deamidation of L-asparagine and L-glutamine. The enzyme was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by foaming and SEC. PAGE analysis revealed a protein of about 85 kDa with 13 kDa subunits indicating a hexameric protein. Degenerated primers were deduced from peptide fragments and the complete coding sequence of 372 bp was determined. The gene of Flammulina velutipes asparaginase (FvNase) over expressed in E. coli achieved an L-asparagine-hydrolyzing activity of 16 U/mL in crude extract, which was five times higher than its L-glutamine-hydrolyzing ability. The enzyme showed a pH-optimum at pH 7, remarkable tolerance towards elevated temperature and sodium chloride concentration in both the native and recombinant form, and no significant homology to any conserved domains of published asparaginases or glutaminases.

is an important edible and medicinal mushroom widely cultivated in East Asia, with its quality and health strongly influenced by associated microbial communities. However, limited data exist on the bacterial communities associated with cultivation in Chinese farms. This study investigated bacterial communities associated with and its production environment using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and culture-dependent methods.

() residues polysaccharide (FVRP) is a high molecular weight polysaccharide with diverse bioactivities extracted from residues (FVR). However, high molecular weight polysaccharides have been shown to face significant challenges in crossing the cell membrane barrier, thereby limiting their absorption and application in the body. Therefore, an ultrasonic-assisted HO-Fe method was employed for the first time to degrade FVRP, resulting in the production of a new polysaccharide, FVRPF.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious clinical complication with high incidence. Polysaccharides extracted from Flammulina velutipes (FVPs) have been proven to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect and mechanism of FVPs on cisplatin (CDPP)-induced AKI.
