“…This work also suggest that G. boninense might bearing potent antibacterial agent against important nosocomial infections-related bacterial pathogens, but right solvents system and extraction procedures are crucial to extract them out. One of Ganoderma species, G. lucidum is well known to exhibits potent medicinal potential including antibacterial activity (Iftekhar et al, 2011). This report confirmed that G. boninense, as wood decaying fungi like G. lucidum can also exhibit potent antibacterial potential.…”

“…Mushrooms possess enormous biologically active secondary metabolites for different applications [3–7]. Moreover, they have a wide range of secondary metabolites of high therapeutic values such as antioxidant, diabetes, antiviral, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities [8–10]. It has been reported that a total of 316 mushroom species extracts have shown antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [11–13].…”

Mushrooms produce a variety of bioactive compounds that are known to have a potential source of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Natural antioxidants can protect against free radicals without any side effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Auricularia and Termitomyces extracts. Specimens of Auricularia and Termitomyces spp. were collected from Kakamega National Reserve Forest in Kenya. Specimens were identified, extracted, and screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities using stable free radical DPPH and colorimetric bioassay methods, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was tested against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Candida albicans, and Candida parapsilosis. The maximum scavenging activity of hot water extract of Auricularia spp. was observed at 70.4% with the IC50 value of 40 μg/mL. Of the three extracts of Termitomyces spp., 70% ethanol extract has shown the highest scavenging activity (63%) with the IC50 value of 50 μg/mL. Chloroform and hot water extracts of Auricularia have shown statistically significantly different antifungal activities against C. parapsilosis (df = 2, F = 22.49, p ≤ 0.05). Of all the organisms, S. aureus was highly susceptible to 70% ethanol and hot water extracts of Termitomyces spp. with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 0.67±0.29 mg/mL. S. aureus and E. coli were the most susceptible and resistant bacteria to the hot water extract, respectively. In conclusion, the extracts of Auricularia spp. and Termitomyces spp. have shown promising antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

“…Pleurotus florida showed some antibacterial activity, while G. lucidum did not demonstrate any antibacterial activity. None of the extracts exhibited any activity against E. coli (Iftekhar et al, 2011). Antimicrobial activity of Ganoderma praelongum Murrill, G. resinaceum Boud., and G. lucidum was evaluated against 30 strains of clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA).…”
