Ganoderma lucidum methanolic extract as a potent phytoconstituent: characterization, in-vitro antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a medicinal mushroom extract (Reishi/Ganoderma lucidum) to see if it could fight cancer and bacterial infections. The extract showed promising results, being particularly effective against blood cancer and breast cancer cells while being less toxic to normal healthy cells. It also killed bacteria better than some standard antibiotics, suggesting it could potentially be developed into a new type of medicine for treating cancer and infections.

Researchers sequenced the complete genome of Lei Wan (Gerronema lapidescens), a medicinal mushroom used in Chinese traditional medicine for treating parasites and digestive issues. The study reveals the mushroom’s genetic makeup, including 15,847 genes and over 3 million methylation marks that may control gene expression. They identified 67 gene clusters that could produce medicinal compounds and 521 enzymes for breaking down organic matter. This genetic blueprint will help scientists understand how to cultivate this threatened species sustainably and develop its health benefits.
