Growth and antibacterial activity of Lentinula edodes in liquid media supplemented with gricultural wastes

Optimization of Antioxidant Potential of Penicillium granulatum Bainier by Statistical Approaches

“…However, urea gave minimum biomass accompanied by minimum activity. These observations are in agreement with earlier study on Lentinula edodes which also did not show any correlation between mycelial biomass and antibacterial activity [25]. …”

Antimicrobial activity and mineral composition of shiitake mushrooms cultivated on agricultural waste

“…Four isolates of L. edodes, UFV11 (Le1), UFV52, UFV62 and UFV63 from the culture collection of the Department of Microbiology at the Federal University of Viçosa (MG), Brazil, were selected for this study due to their antimicrobial activity and growth observed in previous studies (Ishikawa et al, 2001;Hassegawa et al, 2005). Culture stocks were kept in the tubes with malt extract agar plus peptone (30 g malt extract, 3 g soybean peptone, 15 g agar, and the extract of mate tea 1%, pH 4.5).…”

“…Rice bran (Fig. 3) has also been tested by Hassegawa et al (2005) in liquid culture media which resulted in higher antimicrobial activity for mycelial cultures of L. edodes. Results observed in this study showed that the production of antimicrobial substance(s) by L. edodes was dependent on the isolate (Fig.…”

“…Whether grown on logs or sawdust-based substrates, L. edodes has been shown to produce a variety of degradative extracellular enzymes, including cellulases, hemicellulases, fungal cell wall-degrading enzymes, acid phosphatases, acid proteinases, laccases, manganese peroxidases, and ligninases that contribute to the degradation and recycling of wood in nature ( Savoie et al, 1998;Ohga and Royse, 2001;Makkar et al, 2001;Hatvani and Mécs, 2001;Hatvani and Mécs, 2002;Nagai et al, 2002;Nagai et al, 2003;Silva et al, 2005;Silva et al, 2008;Regina et al, 2008). Shiitake has interested researchers due to its medicinal properties, and several biologically active compounds have been isolated and purified from the mushrooms, mycelia and aqueous extract (Chang, 1999;Ishikawa et al, 2001;Hassegawa et al, 2005). These compounds exhibit antitumoral, antifungal, antibacterial, hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties (Maeda et al, 1998;Ngai and Ng, 2003;Ishikawa et al, 2001;Yang et al, 2002;Kitzberger et al, 2007) that can have one or more therapeutic effects and can act synergistically ( Pascholati et al, 1998;Wasser and Weis, 1999).…”

“…This compound inhibits the growth of Trichoderma sp (Tokimoto et al, 1987) and Grampositive bacteria (Komemushi et al, 1996). The antimicrobial activity of L. edodes has been confirmed against the Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria, filamentous fungi, yeast and viruses (Chihara et al, 1969;Komemushi et al, 1995;Hirasawa et al, 1999;Pacumbaba et al 1999;Sasaki et al, 2001;Hatvani, 2001;Ishikawa et al, 2001;Hassegawa et al, 2005). There is some evidence that substrate composition can influence the chemical composition of the mushrooms (Manzi et al, 1999), but little is known about its nutritional value (Vetter, 1994).…”
