The Use of Fungal Biomass Agaricus bisporus Immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 Resin for the Solid-Phase Preconcentration of Thorium

Solid-phase extraction method was developed for the preconcentration of thorium (Th). Fungal biomass Agaricus bisporus was immobilized to Amberlite XAD-4 as solid-phase sorbent. The critical parameters such as pH of the sample solution, flow rate of the sample, volume of the sample, and the effect of major ions that affect the preconcentration of thorium in this system were evaluated. The optimum pH for the sorption of Th is 6.0, and quantitative elution occurs with 1.0 mol L^?1HCl. The loading capacity was determined as 0.079 mmol g^?1. The optimized method was validated through analysis of the certified reference material of tea leaves (NCS ZC73014) and successfully applied to the determination of Th in a real ore sample with satisfactory results.     

Differentiation and wall chemistry of Agaricus bisporus vegetative and aggregated micelia

Changes in the chemical composition of isolated cell walls and fractions were encountered during the differentiation of vegetative and aggregated mycelia of Agaricus bisporus.Differentiation was accompanied by quantitative variations of the wall polysaccharidic components. Neutral carbohydrates were composed of glucose, galactose, mannose and xylose and glucosamine as the only amino sugar. Differences in wall chemistry were correlated to the secondary and tertiary mycelial forms.     

On-line estimation of cell growth from agitation speed in DO-stat culture of a filamentous microorganism,Agaricus blazei

A simple, but effective on-line method for estimating the mycelial cell mass concentration from agitation speed data, a most readily-available process variable, has been developed for DO-stat cultures ofAgaricus blazei. The dynamic change of dissolved oxygen concentration (DOC) in the initial transient period and the change in yield were considered in the development of the estimation algorithm or estimator. Parameters in the estimation algorithm were calculated from the agitation speed data at 20% of DOC. The proposed estimator could accurately predict the cell mass concentration regardless of DOC levels in the tested range of 10–40%, showing a good extrapolation capability.     

Einfluß der Unterbrechung langjähriger Getreide-Fruchtfolgen durch zweijährigen Luzerne-Anbau auf den Kornertrag sowie auf den Befall des Winterweizens durch Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Deighton

Die herbizide Wirksamkeit von Bromoxynil und Phenmedipham wird in starkem Maße von der Lösungsmittelkomponente der Herbizidformulierung beeinflußt. Es zeigt sich, daß die Photosynthesehemmung — als Maß für die Herbizidwirkung — mit zunehmender Hydrophilie der verwendeten Lösungsmittel sinkt, was insbesondere anhand der untersuchten Essigsäurealkylesterreihe nachweisbar ist. Zwischen der Wirkstoffapplikation auf Ganzblättern und isolierten Chloroplasten treten beträchtliche Wirkungsunterschiede auf. Demnach ist der wirkungsbegrenzende Schritt nicht innerhalb der Thylakoidmembran selbst zu suchen sondern findet auf dem Wege von der Blattoberfläche zum Chloroplasten statt.     

Development and growth of fruit bodies and crops of the button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus

We studied the appearance of fruit body primordia, the growth of individual fruit bodies and the development of the consecutive flushes of the crop. Relative growth, measured as cap expansion, was not constant. It started extremely rapidly, and slowed down to an exponential rate with diameter doubling of 1.7 d until fruit bodies showed maturation by veil breaking. Initially many outgrowing primordia were arrested, indicating nutritional competition. After reaching 10 mm diameter, no growth arrest occurred; all growing individuals, whether relatively large or small, showed an exponential increase of both cap diameter and biomass, until veil breaking. Biomass doubled in 0.8 d. Exponential growth indicates the absence of competition. Apparently there exist differential nutritional requirements for early growth and for later, continuing growth. Flushing was studied applying different picking sizes. An ordinary flushing pattern occurred at an immature picking size of 8 mm diameter (picking mushrooms once a day with a diameter above 8 mm). The smallest picking size yielded the highest number of mushrooms picked, confirming the competition and arrested growth of outgrowing primordia: competition seems less if outgrowing primordia are removed early. The flush duration (i.e. between the first and last picking moments) was not affected by picking size. At small picking size, the subsequent flushes were not fully separated in time but overlapped. Within 2 d after picking the first individuals of the first flush, primordia for the second flush started outgrowth. Our work supports the view that the acquisition of nutrients by the mycelium is demand rather than supply driven. For formation and early outgrowth of primordia, indications were found for an alternation of local and global control, at least in the casing layer. All these data combined, we postulate that flushing is the consequence of the depletion of some unknown specific nutrition required by outgrowing primordia.
