According to the research results of Ulziijargal & Mau (2011), the difference in the content of the essential components involving fruiting bodies and mycelia among fungal species of genera named Agaricus, Auricularia, Cordyceps, Flammulina, Ganoderma, Lentinus, Pleurotus, and so on showed close resemblance. Therefore, the study on the production process of termite mycelium implemented a liquid culture method guiding a premise for future studies on culturing other species. Materials and methods Termitomyces mushroom extracts100 g of dry biomass powder and fruiting body of 5 samples were extracted by methanol as a solvent with a sample ratio 5:1 at 40 °C, shaken for 24 h at 150 rpm, and filtered. The residual material underwent a double extraction with 300 mL of methanol afterward. The total extracts were evaporated at 50 °C to release the solvent, as reported by Giri et al. (2012). Evaluation of DPPH radical scavenging activity assayThe mixture consisted of 0.5 mL of DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) solution 2 mL of the extract with different concentrations. After incubation for 30 min, the absorbance of the solution was measured in a spectrophotometer at 517 nm and compared with the methanol control sample. Evaluation of antibacterial activityThe antibacterial capacity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
