Evaluation of Some Botanicals in Controlling Grain Spawn Infecting Pathogens of Pleurotussajor-cajuSinger
Abstract: AbstractSeveral fungal pathogens attacks grain spawn of P. sajor-caju. Successful methods to control the infecting fungal pathogens in mushroom grain spawns are not presently known. Six different botanicals namely neem (Azadirachta indica), garlic (Allium sativum), datura (Datura stramonium), ginger (Zingiber officinalis), turmeric (Curcuma longa) and tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) were tested at 5 and 10 per cent concentrations to test their efficacy against mushroom and grain spawn infecting pathogens. The percent …

Production, Optimization and Purification of Laccase Produced by Pleurotus ostreatus MH591763
Abstract: The optimization of production medium for laccase produced by Pleurotus ostreatus (Gene Bank Accession number MH591763) to reduce the cost of laccase production in large scale is the basic research in industrial field. In this study, the laccase culture medium was optimized for growth parameters such as incubation period, pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen source on fungal growth and enzyme production. Purification and characterization of the enzyme was done by …

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, …

Extracellular Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using the Fungus Pleurotus ostreatus and their Antibacterial Activity
Abstract: In the present study, an eco-friendly process for the synthesis of nanomaterials using a fungus (Pleurotus ostreatus) has been attempted. The fungus supernatant of seed culture was used for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. The aqueous silver ions were reduced to silver metal nanoparticles when treated with the fungal supernatant. After 72h of treatment, silver nanoparticles were obtained. These silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), …

Evaluation of Antioxidant and Cytotoxic activities of Mycelia Biomass and Culture broth of three Edible Mushrooms, Morchella conica, Hericium erinaceus and Pleurotus florida Grown in Submerged Culture
Abstract: Mycelia biomass of three edible mushrooms namely, Morchella conica, Pleurotus florida and Hericium erinaceus were grown as submerged culture in potato dextrose broth supplemented with yeast extract, potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate and magnesium sulphate. The mycelia biomass was extracted with 70% ethanol and culture broth with ethyl acetate. The solvents were evaporated to dryness at low temperature using a rotary vacuum evaporator and the residues thus obtained were used for the …

Analyze the growth of Pleurotus florida under different incubated conditions
Abstract: The edible mushroom Pleurotus florida was cultured under microbiological condition which favored the growth of mycelium on selective potato dextrose agar medium. The same mycelium also grows well in wheat grain substrate during grain spawn production. But the mycelial growth efficiency of P. florida was higher in coconut coir, paddy straw and paddy straw + newspaper waste substrates when spawn running process. The pin head formation stage was only observed …

A Study on the Correlation between Yield and Substratum in the Cultivation of Oyster Mushroom
Abstract: AbstractEdible mushrooms are well known for their nutritional and medicinal properties; hence cultivation of mushroom is considered as a profitable business rather than a hobby. The profitability lies in the proper choice of; variety to be cultivated, substrate on which cultivation is made and proper management practices. The present study was focused to evaluate the growth and yield of ‘Pleurotus ostreatus’ on different substrates like paddy straw, Banana leaf, coir …

Antioxidant Activity in Se-Enriched Edible Mushrooms
Abstract: Mushrooms enriched with essential minerals, such as selenium (Se), are food that compensate for dietary nutrient deficiencies. Extracts from Se-enriched Pleurotusostreatus and Lentinula edodes mushrooms contain active antioxidant compounds, which enhance the immune system. To evaluate whether Se-enrichment changes antioxidant and lipid peroxidation potential, the concentration of total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, lipid peroxidation and the total concentration of minerals (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, V, Cr, Co, Ni, As, Cd …
