A novel polysaccharide (NAP-3) was isolated and purified from Naematelia aurantialba after water extraction. The structure of NAP-3, which was determined by FT-IR, HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR, indicated that NAP-3 was a homogeneous polysaccharide with the molecular weight of 428 kDa, mainly consisted of β-1, 3-D-Manp, β-1, 2, 3-D-Manp, β-D-Xylp, β-1, 4-D-Glcp, β-1, 4-D-Rhap in a molar ratio of 6.49: 1.11: 2.4: 0.13: 0.83. In vitro α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory assay showed that NAP-3 had a low IC value, which exhibited similar enzyme inhibitory activity as acarbose. NAP-3 was evaluated as an adjuvant with metformin for antidiabetic therapy in HFD/STZ-induced diabetic mice and insulin resistance HepG2 cells. The combination of NAP-3 and metformin in diabetic mice exhibited significant hypoglycemic activity, reducing body weight, serum insulin levels, glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, and increasing antioxidant levels compared to metformin alone. The combination of NAP-3 and metformin improved oxidative stress by increasing ROS clearance, thereby enhancing glucose uptake in HepG2 cells. This study provided new data for the study of Naematelia aurantialba polysaccharides and offers a new adjuvant therapy for the treatment of diabetes.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored different cooking methods for Naematelia aurantialba (N. aurantialba) to determine their effects on nutrient composition and digestion of amino acids and bioactive substances.
  • - Results showed that deep-frying and roasting preserved higher protein and amino acid levels compared to steaming and boiling, with deep-frying yielding 5.8 times more amino acids than boiling.
  • - Oil-based cooking methods enhanced antioxidant properties and phenolic/flavonoid content, while microwave cooking significantly increased polysaccharide levels, providing insights for improving culinary practices for this and similar wild edible mushrooms.

Mushroom Jin Er has attracted widespread attention in Asia over the past two decades due to its medicinal properties and nutritional values. In the present study, Jin Er basidiocarps were often found to be surrounded by fruiting bodies in their natural habitat and occasionally in artificial cultivation. The observation of two different kinds of mycelia within the hymenium and analyses of ITS sequences confirmed that Jin Er basidiocarps were composed of two fungal species, and .

Liquid fermentation could revolutionize mushroom polysaccharide production, but the low temperature constraint hampers the process. This study implemented adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) to enhance the thermotolerance of Naematelia aurantialba strains and increase expolysaccharide production. After 75 ALE cycles at 30 °C, the adaptive strain surpassed the wild-type strain by 5 °C.
