Antioxidant Activities of the Mycelium and Culture Broth of Phellinus igniarius and Agrocybe cylindracea

Characterization of the carbohydrase productions of an ectomycorrhizal fungus, <i>Tricholoma matsutake</i>

“…Therefore, only glucose and a few other mono-and disaccharides can be used to grow this fungus (Kawai and Abe 1976). This fungus has not previously been known to use any other polysaccharides except starch (Lee et al 1998).Ohta (1994) reported that Lyophyllum shimeji (Kawamura) Hongo, classifi ed as an ectomycorrhizal fungus, forms mature fruit bodies within a bottle containing a barley grain in a cultivation medium without a host plant. He mentioned that a suffi cient quantity of starch used as a carbon source was able to supply the factor that allows successful fruit-body formation without raising the osmotic pressure in the medium (Ohta 1997).…”
