Abstract: In vitro experiments showed that the oyster mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius exerts a strong immobilising effect on preinfective larvae of the animal parasitic nematodes Ostertagia ostertagi, Cooperia oncophora, Oesophagostomum quadrispinulatum and Cyathostoma species. Infective stages of the same species seemed less vulnerable to fungal attack, possibly because they are protected by their outer cuticle.

Abstract: We studied the effect of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus (4% in diet containing 1% of cholesterol) on serum and liver lipids in female rats with hereditary enhanced sensitivity to alimentary cholesterol. We found that the consumption of the mushroom-containing diet prevented serum cholesterol increase which was manifested at the end of the 4th week of the experiment. At the end of the 7th week of the experiment the cholesterolemia was lowered by almost 40% as compared with control animals kept on the same diet but without the mushroom. The decrease in serum cholesterol levels is a consequence of the decreased cholesterol concentrations of very-low-density lipoproteins and of low-density lipoproteins.

Abstract: The complete amino acid sequences of two isomeric endogenous inhibitors, IA-1 and IA-2, both of which specifically inhibit an intracellular serine proteinase (proteinase A) purified from the fruiting bodies of a higher basidiomycete, Pleurotus ostreatus, were determined. Both inhibitors are acidic polypeptides with respective molecular masses of 8307 and 8244 Da, as determined by plasma desorption mass spectral analyses, and their N-terminal serine residue is blocked by acetylation. The fragments generated from the inhibitors by proteolytic and chemical cleavages were subjected to amino acid composition, sequence, and mass spectral analyses. The sequence and molecular mass information for the peptides established that the inhibitors both consisted of 76 amino acid residues and differed from each other in that aspartic acid and glutamic acid residues at residues 12 and 15 of IA-1 were replaced by glycine and aspartic acid in IA-2, respectively. The molecular masses of IA-1 and IA-2 were calculated to be 8309 and 8237, based on the sequence data. The action of carboxypeptidase Y on IA-1 resulted in a complete loss of the inhibitory activity along with successive release of glutamine and threonine from the C-terminus. Cyanogen bromide cleavage of Met38-Pro39 and Met41-Lys42 in IA-1 and hydroxylamine degradation of IA2 completely abolished their inhibitory activity. These results suggest that the whole molecules of both inhibitors are essential to their inhibitory activities. Their structural resemblance to propeptides of subtilisin family proteinases revealed their mechanism of action.

Abstract: Pleurotus sajor-caju 537 was grown on chopped, pasteurized wheat straw non-supplemented and supplemented with formaldehyde-treated soybean, commercial delayed-release nutrient (SpawnMate II SE) or vegetable oil. Yield was 2.1-fold higher for substrate supplemented (12% dry wt) with low-volume formaldehyde-treated soybean as compared to non-supplemented substrate. Mushroom yield from substrate supplemented with commercial nutrient was 1.7-fold higher than yield from non-supplemented substrate. As the supplement level increased, the mushroom yield response increased. The yield ranged from 3.56 kg/m2 for non-supplemented substrate to 7.36 kg/m2 for substrate supplemented (12% dry wt) with formaldehyde-treated soybean. The type of supplement affected in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of spent substrate; commercial supplement resulted in higher IVDMD compared to formaldehyde-treated substrate. An opportunity exists for commercial development of a nutrient(s) specifically designed for Pleurotus cultivation.

Abstract: Two extracellular oxidase enzymes proposed to play arole in lignin depolymerisation, laccase (polyphenol oxidase) and veratryl alcohol oxidase (VAO), were isolated from ligninolytic cultures of Pleurotus sajor-caju. The enzymes were produced in agitated, mycological broth cultures and were isolated after 12 days from supernatants by precipitation and chromatography. Two purified VAO enzymes had very similar physical and biochemical properties. They oxidised a variety of aromatic primary alcohols to aldehydes with reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. Sequential treatment of the laccase substrate ABTS with laccase and then VAO and veratryl alcohol produced first appearance and then disappearance of characteristic colors. A reduction-oxidation cycle is proposed for the two enzymes in depolymerisation of phenolic substructures of lignin.

Abstract: In Wistar rats fed after weaning a semisynthetic diet containing 0.3% cholesterol (C), the addition of 4% dried whole oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) led to a reduced level of serum and liver C at the end of the 10th week of the experiment by 25, resp. 33%. The level of serum triacylglycerols was not influenced by the mushroom, but was significantly reduced by 13% in liver. The decrease in serum C level is a consequence of the decreased C concentration in very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and in low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Content of C in high-density lipoproteins (HDL) was not influenced by the mushroom. Dietary Pleurotus ostreatus increased the fractional turnover rate of LDL (by 28%) and HDL (by 31%) as determined by the analysis of decay curves of (125)I-labelled lipoproteins. The increase in rate of LDL and HDL catabolism is one of the decisive mechanisms which mediates the hypocholesterolemic effect of mushroom in rat.

Abstract: Production of extracellular hydrogen peroxide by fungal oxidases is been investigated as a requirement for lignin degradation. Aryl-alcohol oxidase activity is described in extracellular liquid and mycelium of Pleurotus eryngii and studied under non-limiting nitrogen conditions. This aryl-alcohol oxidase catalyses conversion of primary aromatic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and H2O2, showing no activity with aliphatic and secondary aromatic alcohols. The enzyme is stable at pH 4.0-9.0, has maximal activity at 45 degrees-50 degrees C and pH 6.0-6.5, is inhibited by Ag, Pb2+ and NaN3, and has a Km of 1.2 mM using veratryl alcohol as substrate. A single protein band with aryl-alcohol oxidase activity was found in zymograms of extracellular and intracellular crude enzyme preparations from P. eryngii.

Abstract: During screening of basidiomycetes for wheat straw delignification, considerable lignin degradation with a limited attack to cellulose was attained with Pleurotus eryngii. Straw solid-state fermentation (SSF) was optimized, and the enzymatic mechanisms for lignin degradation were investigated. No lignin peroxidase was detected under liquid or SSF conditions, but high laccase and aryl-alcohol oxidase levels were found. The latter enzyme has been fully characterized in Pl. eryngii and it seems to be involved in a cyclic redox system for H2O2 generation from aromatic compounds. Results obtained using homoveratric acid suggest that Pleurotus laccase could be involved in degradation of phenolic and non-phenolic lignin moieties. Histological and ultrastructural studies provided some general morphological characteristics of the fungal attack on wheat straw. Whereas a simultaneous degradation pattern was observed in straw treated with Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pl. eryngii caused partial degradation of middle lamella and separation of individual sclerenchymatic fibers. When these straw samples were subjected to refining tests, energy saving after biological treatment was the highest in the case of straw treated with Pl. eryngii, which also produced the lowest substrate loss. From these results, a correlation between preferential removal of lignin, separation of sclerenchymatic fibers and pulping properties was provided during fungal treatment of wheat straw.

Abstract: Pleurotus sajor-caju was produced on a basal medium containing "spent" shiitake substrate plus 10% wheat bran and 10% millet. An analysis of the fibrous composition of the spent shiitake substrate revealed that 85% of the original hemicellulose, 44% of the original cellulose and 77% of the original lignin was not consumed during production of a full crop (78% biological efficiency) of shiitake (63-day harvest period). To produce P. sajor-caju, the spent shiitake substrate was ground, air dried, supplemented, pasteurized with live steam and spawned. Highest yields (79% biological efficiency) of P. sajor-caju were obtained by supplementing the spent shiitake basal medium with 12% soybean and 1% CaCO3. Increases in percentage biological efficiency and mushroom size were positively correlated with increasing levels of CaCO3 added to the basal medium.

Abstract: A mixture of apple pomace and sawdust was tested as a s production of shiitake [Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler] and oyster mushroom [Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) Kummer and P. sajor-caju Fr.) Sing.] on synthetic logs. My- celia grew faster and more densely in logs containing apple pomace than in sawdust alone. Five shiitake isolates and two Pleurotus spp. produced higher fresh weights on a mixture of equal parts (by weight) of apple pomace and sawdust than on either substrate alone. An alternative substrate based on sawdust, millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), bran gave almost identical overall yield as pomace-sawdust medium, but there was a significant differential effect of the sustrates on yield of the two tested shiitake isolates. Analyses and experiments in vitro suggested that optimal N levels provided by apple pomace account in part for its effectiveness.

Abstract: The technical feasibility of using agricultural wastes (mango and date industry wastes) as a substrate for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus NRRL-0366 is evaluated. When comparing the biological efficiency of mushroom production, the highest yield of fruiting bodies was obtained using a mixture of date waste and rice straw at a ratio (1:1) (11.96%), followed by a mixture 3:1 (11.16%). The lowest one was the mixture 2:1 (9.19%). Fungus Pleurotus ostreatus NRRL-0366 can also be cultivated on mango waste supplemented with rice straw at a different ratio. The best one was the 1:1 mixture (10.18%), whereas the lowest was a mixture 3:1 (6.4%). Comparing the results obtained favored the use of date waste as a substrate for growing Pleurotus ostreatus NRRL-0366. Spawn was cultured on three different substrates as follows: Date waste alone (I); 1:1 (by wt) date waste and rice straw (II); 1:1:1 date waste, rice straw, and corncobs (III). Final dry weight and composition of the fruiting bodies are tabulated for the three sets of conditions. Date waste and rice straw mixture (II) is a good source of nonstarchy carbohydrate (67%) and protein (27.44%) containing amounts of essential amino acids, especially lysine and low RNA (3.81%). Elemental analysis were studied in the fruit bodies of the three media.

Abstract: Studies were conducted on the growth and cultivation of Pleurotus tuber-regium on local cellulosic wastes. Andropogon tectorum straw supported the greatest mycelial growth, and cotton and oil palm pericarp wastes supported the least. For cultivation of edible sclerotia, cotton waste and rice straw gave the highest yield and banana leaves gave the lowest. However, with regard to protein, lipid, ethanol-soluble sugar, crude fibre, calcium and magnesium contents, the sclerotia grown on banana leaves were the richest. In contrast, the sclerotia cultivated on corn cob were the poorest in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus contents. In all the sclerotia cultivated on banana leaves, corn cob, cotton waste and rice straw, protein and potassium were the most abundant nutrients. These results are discussed in relation to the prospect of cultivating P. tuber-regium in Nigeria.

Abstract: Growth requirements of Pleurotus tuber-regium (Fr.) Singer, a Nigerian edible mushroom, were studied. Among the carbohydrates tested, glucose was the most utilised. This was followed in order by mannitol, maltose, and dextrin, which significantly enhanced mycelial growth (P < 0.01). Cellulose was the least stimulatory. Of the nitrogen compounds tested, yeast extract supported the greatest growth, which was comparable with that induced by glucose. This was followed in order by asparagine, casein, glycine, and calcium nitrate. Sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and ammonium sulphate supported the poorest growth. The best C/N ratio that sustained good growth was 1:4. This was followed by 4:1. Similarly, thiamine, pyridoxine, GA3 (1 and 10 ppm), 2,4-D (10 ppm), Ca, K, Cu, and Zn supported relatively good mycelial growth. The implication of these results is discussed in relation to the cultivation of P. tuber-regium in Nigeria.

Abstract: Pleurotus sajor-caju is capable of utilizing polysaccharides (cellulose + hemicelluloses) from corn stalks pretreated with 1.5% sodium hydroxide at 121 degrees C for 1 h. The final product, mycelial biomass, contained about 40% crude protein which can be used as a food or feed. During fermentation of polysaccharides, lignin (oligolignols) of corn stalks was depolymerized into oligolignols of progressively lower molecular weight (MW). However, there is some evidence that repolymerization of oligolignols of low MW into oligolignols of high MW is also occurring.
