Background: Ergothioneine (EGT) has a unique antioxidant ability and diverse beneficial effects on human health. But the content of EGT is very low in its natural producing organisms such as Mycobacterium smegmatis and mushrooms. Therefore, it is necessary to highly efficient heterologous production of EGT in food-grade yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Results: Two EGT biosynthetic genes were cloned from the mushroom Grifola frondosa and successfully heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118 strain in this study. By optimization of the fermentation conditions of the engineered strain S. cerevisiae EC1118, the 11.80 mg/L of EGT production was obtained. With daily addition of 1% glycerol to the culture medium in the fermentation process, the EGT production of the engineered strain S. cerevisiae EC1118 can reach up to 20.61 mg/L.
Conclusion: A successful EGT de novo biosynthetic system of S. cerevisiae containing only two genes from mushroom Grifola frondosa was developed in this study. This system provides promising prospects for the large scales production of EGT for human health.

Maistero-2, a Novel Probe for Sterols: Application for Visualizing Cellular Cholesterol.

Maistero-2 is a novel, non-toxic cholesterol-binding protein derived from an edible mushroom Grifola frondosa mRNA. Maistero-2 specifically binds to lipid membranes containing 3-hydroxy sterols with a lower cholesterol concentration threshold than cholesterol-binding domain 4 (D4) of perfringolysin O (PFO) and anthrolysin O (ALO). Maistero-2 binding is particularly sensitive to the size and conformation of the A-, B-, and D-ring of sterols but not very sensitive to modifications of the isooctyl side chain commonly found in phytosterols.

Expensive fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a major obstacle to the production of cultivated meat. However, because FBS substitutes do not sufficiently induce cell proliferation, a good alternative is to reduce the amount of FBS and use ingestible additives to promote cell proliferation. In this study, Grifola frondosa extract (GFE) was used to investigate its potential as an additive to promote myogenesis of bovine muscle satellite cells from Hanwoo cattle under low serum conditions (10 % FBS).

Scope: Grifola frondosa polysaccharide (GFP) has a positive effect in regulating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the understanding of its regulatory mechanism is still limited. Accumulating evidence suggests that hepatic inflammation is crucial in the onset and progression of insulin resistance (IR) and T2DM. However, the question of whether GFP can modulate T2DM via regulating hepatic inflammation and the underlying mechanism has not yet been reported.

Culture conditions for Grifola frondosa using Agaricus bisporus industrial wastewater as a medium were optimized using Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken methodologies. Plackett-Burman screening identified culture temperature, shaking speed, and wastewater solubility as the key factors influencing G. frondosa biomass.

The Andean-Patagonian forests of South America offer a great variety of wild edible mushrooms, many with ancestral use and others linked to new mycogastronomic offers. However, their sensory properties and detailed characterizations have not yet been deeply explored and described, nor have their alterations due to cold storage. The aims of this work were to perform a sensory characterization through a trained panel evaluation, perform target volatile compounds analysis and evaluate post-harvest preservation methods effects on nine species of wild edible mushrooms with different trophic habits (, , , , , , , , and ).
