Effects of physicochemical factors on seasonal variations of phytoplankton in the Mond River Estuary of Bushehr Province, Persian Gulf, Iran

Abstract

Hed Taen Rad or Macrocybe crassa is a wild edible mushroom found in Thailand. It has a large fruiting body with a meaty texture and a delicious taste. Five strains of Hed Taen Rad; DOA, DOA-1, DOA-4, DOA-7 and DOA-10 were tested in different media, pH values and temperatures to measure mycelium growth kinetics and identify mycelia and basidiomata. Results indicated that mushroom mycelial growth rates were highest on MEA medium at pH values between 8 and 10, and temperatures between 20°C and 30°C. Identification of the isolates was based on the morphology characteristics of the basidiomata were closely similar to M. crassa (Berk.), and different from M. gigantea (Massee). For molecular analysis by sequencing of their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions was identified as a T. giganteum since limited ITS rDNA sequences from M. crassa exist in public databases. Therefore, the identification of five strains of Hed Taen Rad using molecular methods could be erroneous. Therefore, morphology characteristics study is suitable for further analysis method on genetic study of Hed Taen Rad.

Identification of Navicula Genus Isolated from Pari Island, Seribu Island Regency, Indonesia

“…Diatoms in the Bacillariophyceae class can respond to water quality conditions by changing their composition in quantity, abundance, and other taxa (Pouladi et al, 2017;Prasertsin et al, 2021).…”

Comparison of Colony Morphology, Sporophore Characters and Yield Performance of Wild and Cultivated Milky Mushroom Isolates

“…Furthermore, it lacks in clamp connections. Inyod et al (2017) (Pegler et al, 1998;Razaq et al, 2016). In this study, the objective was framed to identify the morphology and yield performance of milky mushroom isolates for both the wild and cultivars.…”
