Stimulation of some litter-decomposing basidiomycetes by shikimic acid

Shikimic acid, which constitutes 1.5-2.5% of the dry matter in needles of Scots pine, was found to stimulate the growth of various litter-decomposing basidiomycetes of the genera Marasmius, Mycena and Xeromphalina in a synthetic nutrient medium. Out of eighteen litter-decomposing species, ten were stimulated by shikimic acid, wheras the eight mycorrhizal and four wood-rotting species tested were not affected. Maximal effect was obtained at a concentration of ca 2 m M . Growth experiments at varying pH-values indicated active uptake of shikimic acid. Even in the presence of aromatic amino acids, shikimic acid stimulated the growth of the fungi. In certain species the strong inhibiting effect of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, when added simultaneously, was reversed in the presence of shikimic acid. Fungi which were stimulated by shikimic acid were also able to use this compound as their sole carbon source. Maximal stimulating effect of shikimic acid occurred when glucose had been added at optimal concentration.     

天麻消化紫萁小菇及蜜环菌过程中细胞超微结构变化的研究

本文对天麻种子消化入侵的紫萁小菇菌丝及营养繁殖茎消化蜜环菌过程中,细胞超微结构的变化进行了研究。观察结果表明:紫萁小菇侵入种胚后,染菌胚细胞的细胞器逐渐消失,其细胞质产生囊状体起消化菌丝的作用,存在于胚细胞中的紫萁小菇菌丝有脱壁或失去细胞质成为空腔等变化;种子萌发形成的原球茎消化紫萁小菇的方式同胚萌发阶段类同。蜜环菌侵入原球茎分化的营养繁殖茎后,皮层细胞产生消化酶类颗粒或囊状体包围并分解蜜环菌菌丝;被皮层细胞消化的菌丝残物或部分菌丝进入皮层内面的大型细胞,此时大型细胞的代谢功能显著增强,该细胞中的各种水解酶颗粒及液泡等完成对菌体物质的最终同化。紫萁小菇及蜜环菌先后在天麻有性繁殖和无性繁殖阶段侵染供给其营养,但菌丝被消化过程中的细胞形态变化、被消化方式不完全一致。     

Localization of the bioluminescence system in the pileus of Mycena chlorophos

Mycena chlorophos, which is primarily distributed in Southeast Asia, is a luminous fungus that emits a bright green light from its pileus for about 2 days at approximately 20°C and high relative humidity. The distribution of bioluminescent tissues in the whole pileus and its sections was heterogeneous. The light intensity in the cap and the upper region of the gill was greater than that in the lower region of the gill. At the microscopic level, the light was predominantly emitted from the membranes of hymenium and basidia cells on the gill. The emission was both cell and region specific. The luminescence system was localized in the cell membrane, and a part of the system was on the cell membrane surface. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

天麻种子萌发过程与开唇兰小菇的相互作用*

实验表明开唇兰小菇Mycena anoectochila可与天麻Gastrodia elata种子共生促进其萌发形成原球茎。 菌丝自胚柄端的柄状细胞侵入天麻种子原胚,进一步在皮层细胞中扩展,在外皮层细胞中形成发育良好的菌丝结,菌丝完整而有活力; 在内皮层细胞中则被消化,菌丝衰败、扁化。菌丝在原球茎细胞内的分布被限制在原球茎基部的柄状细胞、外皮层细胞和内皮层细胞,菌丝均被电子透明物质包围, 外围环绕有原球茎细胞质膜, 该界面使侵入的菌丝与原球茎细胞质相隔离,也是两共生生物间进行物质交换的所在。上述菌丝侵入至被消化的过程在整个原球茎发育过程中可反复进行。     

天麻种子与兰小菇共生萌发过程中超微结构变化研究*

天麻Ｇａｓｔｒｏｄｉａｅｌａｔａ种子与兰小菇Ｍｙｃｅｎａｏｒｃｈｉｄｉｃｏｌａ的共生萌发试验表明兰小菇可与天麻种子共生促进天麻种子萌发并形成原球茎。菌丝自胚柄端的柄状细胞侵入天麻种子原胚,其分布被限制在天麻原球茎基部的柄状细胞、外皮层细胞和内皮层细胞内,均被电子透明物质和原球茎细胞质膜包围而与原球茎细胞质相隔离。菌丝在外皮层细胞中形成菌丝结,在内皮层细胞中则被消化,形成扁化、衰败的菌丝或菌丝四块。含有衰败菌丝的原球茎细胞可被菌丝重新定殖,新近定殖的菌丝又被原球茎细胞消化。

The Relation Between Growth of Gastrodia elata Protocorms and Fungi

Armillaria mellea penetrated protocorms from seed germination and vegetative multiplication corms of Gastrodia elata with rhizomorph. At beginning, they formed a hypha passing road and a hypha flow in the inner cells of cortex, and then, they both penetrated inside of large cells and penetrated outside of cortical cells. Gastrodia elata seeds depended on digesting Mycenct osmundicola etc gain nutrition to germinate at the stage of sexual reproduction, but its corms of vegetative multiplication must be penetrated by Armillaria mellea obtaining nutrition for normal growth at the stage of vegetative propagation.     

A combination of NADHP and hispidin is not essential for bioluminescence in luminous fungal living gills of Mycena chlorophos

The chemical mechanisms underlying visible bioluminescence in the fungus Mycena chlorophos are not clear. A combination of dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and hispidin, which has been reported to increase the intensity of in vitro luminescence in crude cold‐water extracts prepared from the bioluminescent fruiting bodies of M. chlorophos, exhibited potential bioluminescence activation in the early bioluminescence stages, in which the bioluminescence was ultra‐weak, for living gills and luminescence activation for non‐bioluminescent gills, which was collapsed by freezing and subsequent thawing, at all bioluminescence stages. These abilities were not evident in considerably bioluminescent gills. These abilities were blocked by trans‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid and trans‐3,4‐dihydroxycinnamic acid, which were identified as in vivo bioluminescence‐activating components. Original bioluminescence and bioluminescence produced from the addition of trans‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid and trans‐3,4‐dihydroxycinnamic acid in living gills were almost completely inhibited by 10 mM NaN₃, whereas the luminescence produced form the combination of NADPH and hispidin in thawed non‐bioluminescent and living gills at the early weak bioluminescence stages was not inhibited by 10 mM NaN₃. Thus, the combination of NADPH and hispidin plays different roles in luminescence systems compared with essential bioluminescence systems, and the combination of NADPH and hispidin was not essential for visible bioluminescence in living gills.
