Fungal Species: Perenniporia tenuis

Optimizing laboratory cultivation of wood-inhabiting fungi with emphasis on applied conservation

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how to grow seven rare and endangered wood-dwelling mushrooms in the laboratory, which is important for saving these species from extinction. They tested different growing conditions including adding sawdust to growth media, adjusting temperatures, adding vermiculite to grain-based substrates, and using different types of wood. The study found that simple and inexpensive modifications like using birch wood and adding vermiculite significantly improved mushroom growth, making conservation and commercial cultivation more practical and affordable.

Transcriptome and Metabolome Integration Reveals the Impact of Fungal Elicitors on Triterpene Accumulation in Sanghuangporus sanghuang

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how special fungal compounds called elicitors can boost the production of healing substances in a medicinal mushroom called Sanghuangporus sanghuang. By analyzing genes and metabolites, they found that adding elicitors increased beneficial compounds like betulinic acid and 2-hydroxyoleanolic acid by up to 114-fold. These findings suggest a practical way to produce more medicinal compounds from this mushroom for health applications.

Transcriptome and Metabolome Integration Reveals the Impact of Fungal Elicitors on Triterpene Accumulation in Sanghuangporus sanghuang

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied how a special fungal treatment can boost the production of beneficial compounds in sanghuang mushrooms. Using advanced molecular analysis techniques, they found that the fungal elicitor significantly increased levels of healing compounds called triterpenes. The treated mushrooms produced 114 times more of one specific compound compared to untreated mushrooms. This research shows how we can grow medicinal mushrooms with higher levels of beneficial substances, which could help develop better treatments for various diseases.

Study on Optimization of Liquid Fermentation Medium and Antitumor Activity of the Mycelium on Phyllopora lonicerae

mycolabadmin

Scientists optimized how to grow Phylloporia lonicerae fungus in the lab, increasing its production by 142% while cutting growth time by two-thirds. They discovered that certain compounds extracted from this fungus, particularly from a petroleum ether extract, can kill cancer cells and trigger apoptosis. The petroleum ether extract was more effective than the standard cancer drug 5-fluorouracil, especially against esophageal cancer cells, suggesting this fungus could be developed into a natural anti-cancer treatment.

Study on Optimization of Liquid Fermentation Medium and Antitumor Activity of the Mycelium on Phyllopora lonicerae

mycolabadmin

Researchers improved the production of a medicinal fungus called Phylloporia lonicerae that grows on honeysuckle plants. They developed a better growing medium that produced more fungus in less time. They then discovered that components from this fungus can kill cancer cells, particularly lung and esophageal cancer cells, by triggering a natural cell death process called apoptosis. This work suggests the fungus could be developed into an anti-cancer functional food.
