A Chromosome-Scale Genome of Trametes versicolor and Transcriptome-Based Screening for Light-Induced Genes That Promote Triterpene Biosynthesis

mycolabadmin

Scientists created a detailed map of the Trametes versicolor mushroom’s genetic code using advanced sequencing technologies. This medicinal mushroom is known for cancer-fighting and immune-boosting properties. The research discovered that light exposure increases the production of beneficial compounds called triterpenes, which may explain how this mushroom’s medicinal qualities work and could help scientists grow it more effectively.

High-quality genome assembly and annotation of Porodaedalea mongolica and Porodaedalea schrenkiana provide insights into potential industrial and medical application

mycolabadmin

Scientists sequenced the genomes of two medicinal wood-decay fungi species (Porodaedalea mongolica and P. schrenkiana) for the first time using advanced sequencing technology. These fungi produce beneficial compounds with anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, and can degrade environmental pollutants. The detailed genetic information revealed how these fungi break down wood and create bioactive compounds, opening new possibilities for medical treatments and industrial applications like environmental cleanup.

Bibliometric, taxonomic, and medicinal perspectives of Ganoderma neo-japonicum Imazeki: A mini review

mycolabadmin

Ganoderma neo-japonicum, known as purple Lingzhi, is a mushroom traditionally used by indigenous communities in Malaysia and other Asian countries to treat various health conditions. This review examines 36 scientific studies published between 1991 and 2021, showing that the mushroom contains special compounds that can fight cancer cells, lower blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. While laboratory studies show promising results, the mushroom still needs more clinical testing in humans before it can be widely used as a medicine.
