Three-phase extraction of polysaccharide from Stropharia rugosoannulata: Process optimization, structural characterization and bioactivities

Researchers developed an efficient new method called three-phase extraction to isolate beneficial compounds called polysaccharides from wine cap mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoannulata). These polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant properties and boosted immune cell activity in laboratory tests by triggering specific cellular pathways. The findings suggest these mushroom extracts could become useful ingredients in functional foods or medicines to support immune health.

Differences in the Activities of Eight Enzymes from Ten Soil Fungi and Their Possible Influences on the Surface Structure, Functional Groups, and Element Composition of Soil Colloids

This research examined how different soil fungi affect soil properties through the enzymes they produce. The study reveals that soil fungi play a crucial role in maintaining soil health and nutrient cycling. The findings have several everyday implications: • Better understanding of how fungi help break down dead plant material and recycle nutrients in soil • Insights into how different fungi contribute to soil fertility and plant growth • Potential applications for improving agricultural soil management • Implications for forest health and ecosystem maintenance • Better understanding of natural processes that could inform sustainable farming practices
