| Abstract: | An antigen analysis was carried out on three strains of thecultivated paddy straw mushroom, CI.52, CI.53, and CY.101 fromThailand, Philippines, and Ceylon respectively. Saline extractsof the antigen were prepared from fully open carpophores ofthe three strains. Antibodies to the mushroom extracts wereprepared in rabbits by subcutaneous inoculations of the alumprecipitated extracts of the three strains, and the precipitinsin the sera of the rabbits were studied by means of the Ouchterlonygel diffusion and immuno-electrophoresis precipitin reactions.The immuno-diffusion precipitin studies indicated that therewere no observable antigenic differences between the strains.The three strains were also similar in morphological characteristics.The results suggest that the strains cultivated in Thailand,Philippines, and Ceylon are similar to Volvariella volvacea(Fr.), Sing. var. masseei, Sing. |
