Production of Myco-Nanomaterial Products from Pleurotus ostreatus (Agaricomycetes) Mushroom via Pyrolysis

mycolabadmin

Scientists have discovered a new way to create tiny fluorescent particles called carbon nanodots from oyster mushrooms using heat treatment. These particles glow under certain light conditions and show promising ability to fight bacteria like E. coli. The process is environmentally friendly, uses waste mushroom material, and could lead to new ways to treat infections and reduce dependence on antibiotics.

Antibiofilm activity and bioactive phenolic compounds of ethanol extract from the Hericium erinaceus basidiome

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a lion’s mane mushroom extract for its ability to stop harmful bacteria from forming protective biofilms that make infections harder to treat. The extract showed strong activity against Proteus mirabilis bacteria, reducing biofilm formation by over 78%. The antibiofilm power comes mainly from two phenolic compounds: protocatechuic acid and p-coumaric acid. These findings suggest lion’s mane mushroom could be developed into natural supplements or food preservatives to prevent bacterial contamination.

Novel secondary metabolite from a new species of Hypoxylon saxatilis sp. nov. for suppressing bacterial wilt in tomato

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a new type of fungus called Hypoxylon saxatilis that produces a natural compound called tetrahydrofuran. This compound effectively kills the bacteria that cause tomato plants to wilt and die. When used on tomato plants in the greenhouse, this fungal extract reduced disease severity by over 83%, offering a safer, environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides for protecting crops.
