Chitosan extraction from Amanita phalloides: yield, crystallinity, degree of deacetylation, azo dye removal and antibacterial properties

Scientists successfully extracted chitosan, a useful natural polymer, from the death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides). This chitosan showed excellent ability to remove blue dye from water and killed harmful bacteria effectively. The extraction method was efficient and eco-friendly, making it a promising solution for cleaning polluted water and developing antibacterial products.

Chlorophyllum molybdites-synthesized manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO-NPs): morphology, biocompatibility, and anticancer properties against liver cancer (HepG2) cell line

Researchers successfully created tiny manganese oxide particles using a wild mushroom called Chlorophyllum molybdites through an environmentally friendly process. These nanoparticles showed strong cancer-fighting ability against liver cancer cells and were effective against a parasite that causes leishmaniasis. The particles were safe for human use with minimal damage to healthy blood cells, making them promising candidates for developing new cancer and parasitic disease treatments.
