Physicochemical properties and acute toxicity studies of a lectin from the saline extract of the fruiting bodies of the shiitake mushroom,Lentinula edodes (Berk)

A lectin (LEL) was isolated from the fresh fruiting bodies of the shiitake mushroom Lentinula edodes by a combination of gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-150 and affinity chromatography on an N-acetyl-Dgalactosamine-Sepharose 4B column. Its molecular mass, as determined by gel filtration, was estimated to be 71, 000 Daltons and its structure is homotetrameric with subunit molecular weight of approximately 18,000 Daltons. LEL agglutinated non-specifically red blood cells from the human ABO system as well as rabbit erythrocytes and in haemagglutination inhibition assays, exhibited sugar-binding specificity toward N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. EDTA had no inhibitory effect on its haemagglutinating activity, which was stable up to 70°C and was not affected by changes in pH. The lectin had no covalently-linked carbohydrate and amino acid composition analysis revealed that it contained 124 amino acid residues and was rich in tyrosine, proline, phenylalanine, arginine, glutamic acid and cysteine. LEL did not cause mortality neither was it observed to alter the morphology of key organs when administered intraperitoneally at concentrations up to 10,000 mg kg^-1 body weight of mice.     

球状香菇菌株的氨基酸特征分析及蛋白质品质评价

比较分析香菇球状菌株与正常菌株的形态特征、氨基酸特征和蛋白质品质,并基于现行国际氨基酸模式谱,采用蛋白质的氨基酸评分（amino acid score,AAS）、氨基酸比值系数分（ratio coefficient of amino acid,SRC）、IOM（Institute of Medicine）模式评分、化学评分（chemical score,CS）、必需氨基酸指数（essential amino acid index,EAAI）以及蛋白质校正氨基酸计分（protein digestibility corrected amino acids score,PDCAAS）多种指标进行评价。结果表明：与正常菌株相比,球状菌株形态上没有菌褶和菌柄的分化,同时营养成分也发生了变化,就粗蛋白含量而言,球状菌株为正常菌株的1.37倍（分别为32.32%和23.60%）;就平均总氨基酸含量而言,球状菌株（209.58mg/g）是正常菌株（163.10mg/g）的1.28倍。这些球状菌株的特征可作为新品种的培育材料进一步被利用。     

Basidiospore formation in monokaryotic fruiting bodies of a mutant strain of Coprinus macrorhizus

The process of basidiospore formation in a mutant strain Fis^c of Coprinus macrorhizus, a heterothallic species of Basidiomycete, which forms monokaryotic fruiting bodies was examined. A single nucleus in a young basidium divided mitotically and two daughter nuclei were fused subsequently. The fused nucleus then divided meiotically forming four basidiospores on a basidium. The typical chromosome behaviours in the first meiotic prophase were observed. Synaptonemal complexes were observed in a basidium at the first meiotic prophase. A continuous illumination of fruiting bodies was effective to arrest meiosis in monokaryotic fruiting bodies at the particular stage of meiotic division.     

中国香菇种质资源中主要真菌病毒的多重RT-PCR检测技术

【背景】病毒是食用菌生产上较重要的一类潜在隐患。我们在前期的研究中发现,中国香菇(Lentinula edodes)种质资源中最常见的病毒有2种,分别为L. edodes partitivirus 1 (LePV1)和L. edodes mycovirus HKB (LeV-HKB)病毒,这2种病毒能单一或复合感染香菇。【目的】建立香菇种质主要病毒的快速检测技术,提高香菇病毒检测效率,降低检测成本。【方法】依据香菇β-actin基因及病毒LePV1和LeV-HKB编码依赖RNA的RNA复制酶(RdRp)基因序列分别设计引物,以复合感染了这2种香菇病毒的菌丝体为材料,对影响RT-PCR反应的主要因素模板浓度、引物浓度、dNTPs浓度、退火温度和循环次数等进行优化筛选,建立同时检测LeV-HKB病毒(LeV-HKB相关病毒)和LePV1病毒的多重RT-PCR检测技术。【结果】模板浓度、退火温度和循环次数对多重RT-PCR检测结果均有较大影响,而引物浓度和dNTPs浓度对检测结果的影响较小。所建立的多重RT-PCR技术在香菇核心种质病毒检测中表现为扩增目标条带清晰分明,检测结果与单重RT-PCR检测结果一致。对两种病毒的多重RT-PCR产物进行了序列测序,结果表明扩增片段序列与目标基因序列相似性在99%以上。【结论】所建立的多重RT-PCR检测体系具有较好的特异性与适用性,为室内和田间香菇病毒早期检测、病害流行的监测提供了技术储备。     

Effect of liquid mycelial culture used as a spawn on sawdust cultivation of shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

Mycelium of shiitake (Lentinula edodes) was cultured continuously in liquid medium. The liquid culture was carried out for the production of liquid spawn in the cultivation of this mushroom on synthetic sawdust substrate, and its performance was compared with that of the solid spawn. The initial colonization in culture bags was faster with the solid spawn than with the liquid spawn, but after this stage CO₂ production was higher with the liquid spawn than with the solid spawn. For harvesting sufficient amount of good quality mushrooms, 120 d of incubation in bags was needed with the solid spawn, but this was reduced to 90 d for the sawdust blocks using liquid spawn of less than 50 d old. If continuous culture of the liquid spawn was prolonged over 50 d, immature fruit-bodies or their initials formed during the period of bag incubation. The solid subcultures of the liquid spawns retained the fruiting characteristics acquired in the liquid culture. Liquid culture could be a useful tool for breeding of mushrooms.

延长鲜切香菇货架期的保鲜工艺

通过优化最佳的鲜切香菇加工技术,延长鲜切香菇产品的货架期,为扩大工厂化生产提供依据。本研究设计了3种香菇清洗工艺以及3种气调保鲜方法,利用感官、气味和理化指标的变化来评价清洗保鲜效果。经过无菌水、次氯酸钠溶液以及未经清洗3种处理方式加工的鲜切香菇产品在低温储藏120h时,其表面微生物数量发生较大的变化,无菌水清洗处理组微生物总量达到4.68×10³CFU/g,而次氯酸钠溶液处理组和未经清洗的处理组的微生物含量分别为4.15×10³CFU/g和3.05×10³CFU/g。对3种气调比例保鲜效果研究结果表明,未清洗+T1（15% CO₂、5% O₂、80% N₂）处理组的香菇切片品质保存最好,在第12天时其多糖、蛋白质含量、抗坏血酸含量、类黄酮含量以及抗氧化活性达到最高,分别为70.32mg/g、131.19mg/g、16.46mg/100g、1 272.57μg/g和73.02mmol/g;其总酚含量最低,为2 133.88μg/g。通过电子鼻检测以及主成分分析（PCA）发现多种工艺组合中,未清洗+T1处理组的香菇切片在储藏期12d内气味变化最小,显著优于其他处理组合。综上所述,未清洗+T1气体比例处理组是适宜鲜切香菇加工以及保鲜的优势工艺,通过此方法可使鲜切香菇的货架期从6d延长至12d,对工厂化生产具有指导意义。     

Effect of the physical properties ofLentinula edodes bedlogs on fruiting body production

Fruiting ofLentinula edodes was induced by soaking the bedlogs in water. It appeared that each bedlog had its own optimum water content for fruiting, and the value was affected by the extent of wood decay. A high content of free water, more than 20%, together with a high content of air volume, 32–43%, resulted in good fruiting. As less decayed young bedlogs have high contents of wood substance, it is difficult to obtain high contents of both free water and air volume. This is one reason why less decayed bedlogs produce less fruiting. Contribution No. 323 from the Tottori Mycological Institute.     

Correlation of the properties of several lignocellulosic substrates to the crop performance of the shiitake mushroom Lentinula edodes

Two selected Lentinula edodes strains (S4080 and SIEF0231) were cultivated on oak-wood sawdust (OS), wheat straw (WS) and corn-cobs (CC) substrates in order to examine the influence of those residues on mycelium growth and on basidiomata production. For both strains, mycelial growth measurements conducted in race tubes demonstrated faster colonization of OS and WS media. Lag-phase and complete colonization periods were correlated to mycelium extension rates in the three substrates tested. Similar patterns of pH and electrical conductivity (Ec) changes were detected in all media and for all strains tested; the pH decreased steadily throughout the colonization process to reach values of 4.49–5.06; Ec increased by the end of mycelium colonization, and it presented the highest and lowest values in the WS and OS media respectively. In addition, a negative correlation was established between final salt content of the substrates and mycelium extension rates. Subjecting fully colonized substrates to a cold-shock treatment resulted in fruiting 58–65 days after inoculation in tubes; WS and CC promoted earlier sporophore initiation than OS. Monitoring CO₂ emissions by strain SIEF0231 in pilot-scale cultivation on synthetic blocks, revealed higher respiration rates from OS and CC than from WS, which were further correlated with substrate colonization rates. Among residues colonized by the same strain, WS appeared to promote earliness and crop productivity (BE 54.17%) by presenting shorter cropping periods and equal yield distribution among flushes, while on OS and CC maximum yields were obtained within the first two flushes. Moreover, heavier basidiomata were produced by WS and OS substrates.

比较蝉虫草子实体、孢梗束、虫体以及蝉虫草发酵菌丝体的胞内多糖含量、单糖组成和分子量差异,结果表明,蝉虫草子实体与发酵菌丝中胞内多糖的含量和组成均存在差异。葡萄糖、半乳糖和甘露糖是蝉虫草发酵菌丝体和子实体粗多糖中主要的3种单糖,阿拉伯糖和木糖是子实体粗多糖中的特征性单糖,而果糖属于菌丝体的特征性单糖。子实体粗多糖中高分子量组分（>1×10 ⁶Da）的相对含量明显高于菌丝体粗多糖。本研究对提升蝉虫草发酵多糖产品品质、促进蝉虫草开发应用具有参考价值。     

Characterization of a non-pigment producing Monascus purpureus mutant strain

A characterization of a non-pigment producing mutant Monascus purpureus M₁₂ compared with its parental strain Monascus purpureus Went CBS 109.07 has been performed aiming to investigate the relation between pigment biosynthesis and other characteristics of these fungi. A comparison has been made of morphological features, some physiological properties and biochemical activities of both strains. The albino mutant exhibits an anamorph life cycle, high conidia forming capability, slower radial growth rate and temperature sensitivity. The assimilation capacity of both strains for mono-, disaccharides and some alcohols is in the same range (Y_X/C 0.2 – 0.35), while the red strain has a higher fermentation capacity. In a selected albino mutant, the growth rate, metabolic activity and capacity for production of typical for Monascus fungi secondary metabolites were reduced considerably. Hydrolytic activity towards natural substrates expressed through glucoamylase and protease was approximately 10 fold lower in the non pigment producing strain (0.05 – 0.08 U/mg protein and 0.01 – 0.07 U/mg protein respectively) compared with the red one. Important qualitative differences between both strains was found in fatty acid composition and in the production of citrinin and monacolin. The mutant strain possessed C₁₇, C₂₀ and C₂₂ fatty acids and did not produce citrinin. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

低温刺激对食用菌子实体形成的研究进展

探究低温刺激子实体形成过程的组学数据能为食用菌的工厂化低碳高效栽培及广温型品种的选育提供参考。本文首先通过主成分分析对食用菌低温刺激子实体形成的类型进行低温型(11−19 ℃)和冷压型的划分(≤10 ℃)。在此基础上,综述了食用菌两种类型的低温刺激子实体形成过程的研究进展。食用菌低温刺激子实体形成过程中都涉及信号转导、胁迫响应、基础代谢、细胞分化、细胞结构变化等代谢过程。随着低温型到冷压型的刺激温度下降,糖代谢可能转向脂代谢为子实体形成提供能量。

香菇135菌株特异SCAR标记在其原生质体单核中的分布

以香菇保藏菌种庆元135以及庆元出菇的135新鲜子实体组织分离得到的菌丝为材料制备原生质体,分别获得58和83个原生质体单核体;经交配型鉴定后,用已获得的135特异SCAR引物对单核进行PCR扩增,统计SCAR条带的分布。结果显示:原生质体单核体分为A1B1和A2B2两种交配型,而特异条带仅存在于后者中,证明135特异SCAR标记是稳定遗传的,也为鉴定以带标记核为亲本之一的杂交后代提供了依据,这就进一步拓宽了分子标记应用于菌株鉴定的适用范围。     

Isolation and characterization of developmental variants in fruiting using a homokaryotic fruiting strain ofCoprinus cinereus

Developmental variants in fruiting ofCoprinus cinereus were induced by mutagenizing oidia of the homokaryotic fruiting strain CopD5-12 with UV light. Through screening of 2,696 isolates, 1,018 strains exhibited defects in fruiting and were classified into 8 groups: (1) knotless variants, which fail to form hyphal knots, the first visible sign of fruiting; (2) primordiumless variants, which form hyphal knots but fail to develop fruit-body primordia; (3) maturationless variants, which form fruit-body primordia but do not form mature fruit bodies; (4) elongationless variants, which form mature fruit bodies with short stipes; (5) expansionless variants, which form mature fruit bodies with unexpanded pilei; (6) sporeless variants, which fail to produce black basidiospores, resulting in fruit bodies with white pilei after maturation; (7) compound type, which includes variants exhibiting several of the phenotypes described above; (8) others, including variants that produce a “dark stipe” even under in light/dark conditions, which is formed under continuous darkness in the wild-type. Two elongationless variants were characterized histologically.     

Purification and characterization of a new ribonuclease from fruiting bodies of the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus.

A ribonuclease (RNase), possessing an N-terminal sequence disparate from those of ribonucleases from other mushrooms and previously isolated Pleuotus ostreatus RNases, was purified from the fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. The N-terminal sequence of Pleurotus ostreatus RNase did not manifest homology even to a previously reported RNase from the same mushroom. The ribonuclease was adsorbed on CM-Sepharose and Mono S. It exhibited a molecular mass of 12 kDa in both sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration on Superdex 75. The ribonuclease displayed an activity of 11490 U/mg on yeast tRNA. The highest ribonuclease activity was exhibited toward poly U, followed by poly A and poly C. No activity was shown toward poly G. The optimal pH for its activity was 7 and the optimal temperature was 55 degrees C. It inhibited cell-free translation in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate with an IC50 of 240 nM.
