Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibitory Potential of Streptomyces sp. G-18 Grown in Various Media

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied bacteria called Streptomyces that were isolated from high mountains in Nepal to see if they could produce useful compounds. They grew these bacteria in four different types of growth media and tested the resulting extracts for antioxidant properties and ability to block harmful enzymes. They found that the choice of growth medium significantly affected what compounds the bacteria produced, with one medium (R2YE) being especially effective at producing compounds that could help treat diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Psilocybe Mushrooms: Gaps and Perspectives

mycolabadmin

This review examined research on Psilocybe mushrooms and their chemical compounds, particularly psilocybin and psilocin, which show promise for treating depression and anxiety. The authors found that while these psychoactive compounds have been extensively studied, many other chemical substances in these mushrooms remain unexplored. Additionally, preliminary studies suggest these mushrooms may have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, though more research is needed. The review highlights significant gaps in understanding the full potential of Psilocybe mushrooms for medical applications.
