Evaluation of Different Extracts of Ganoderma lucidum on Pharmacognostical Parameters
Abstract: For about 5000 years or more, mushrooms have been used as medicines by human beings. Fungi are the great recyclers in nature. Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) is one of the most commonly used species of medicinal mushrooms. Reishi is not an edible mushroom, though people use reishi to brew teas for medicinal purposes only. This mushroom, due to its large number of pharmacological properties, has attracted substantial attention in recent era. …

Recovery of Mycelial Biomass of Agaricus Bisporus, Pleurotus Ostreatus, Ganoderma lucidum, Hieracium Erinaceus: A comparative Study
Abstract: Mushrooms are the spore-bearing fruiting body of fungi which has a significant potential for numerous applications like pharmaceuticals, textile industry, bioremediation, soil management, alternative to toxic packaging materials and environment sustainability. Mushrooms generally belongs to the class Basidiomycota or Ascomycota. They are typically made of hyphae, the tiniest threads which comprises most fungi. Mycelia are tiny thread like structure which help in making vegetative part of fungus. In this study, …

Comparative Study on the Growth and Yield of Ganoderma lucidium Mushroom Cultivated on African Peach (Nauclea diderrichii) and Bush Mango (Endospermum medullosum) Sawdust as Substrates
Abstract: This study was conducted to find out which substrate provides for the best artificial development of G. lucidium. Mango (Mangifera indica) leaves were added to the saw dusts of Nauclea diderrichii and Endospermum medullosum, which were both utilized as substrates for growing. The substrates were inoculated with Ganoderma spawn and then exposed and hydrated to start the fruiting process. Three replications of the process were carried out. It was observed …

Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Biological Method and its Application in Protection of Wood from Ganoderma Species
Abstract: The major advancement in the field of nanotechnology during the last decade have resulted in the wide spread application of nanomaterials in the field of science and technology. Nanoparticles were synthesised biologically, which is a pure green chemistry and completely toxic free compared to chemical synthesis. The property of the reductases present in the E. coli culture filtrate reduces silver nitrate to silver oxide and also serves as a capping …

Purificaton and Characterization of Laccase from White-rot Fungi Ganoderma sp.
Abstract: The main objective of this project is to characterize and purify the laccase (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase) enzyme from white-rot fungi Ganoderma sp. The enzymes is purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and dialysis and further purified by column chromatography. This laccase is run on SDS-PAGE and molecular mass is determined. Finally physico-chemical properties like optimum pH; temperature, inhibition and substrate specificity of purified enzyme is also studied.
