چکیده

background: mushrooms have been valued as high tasty nutritional and nutraceutical food throughout the world. at present 270 species of mushrooms are known to have various nutritional and therapeutic properties. polysaccharides are the primary content of mushrooms that are used for their pharmaceutical properties as immunostimulators. objectives: here, mushrooms were screened for useful polysaccharides. materials and methods: fungal fruiting bodies were collected in rainy season, isolated and maintained in malt agar medium, and screened for their endo- and exo-polysaccharides.  results: the mushrooms screened in this study are good producers of exopolysaccharides (eps) and intracellular polysaccharides (ips). ganoderma lucidum was the best producer of polysaccharide among all the isolates. discussions: mushroom polysaccharides are well known for their antidiabetic, antitumor and hepatoprotective activities, and so are likely to be used in the preparation of novel drugs. it is suggested that a thorough study on the optimization and characterization of these polysaccharides and biomolecules is essential to exploit this mushroom on an industrial scale.

Anti-cancer effect of polysaccharides isolated from higher basidiomycetes mushrooms

This article is written in memory of Professor Takashi Mizuno who died in May 2000. He had focused a lifetime of research upon development of various antitumor substances from medicinal mushrooms, and is considered one of the 20 century greatest scientist in his field. Mizuno proved that many polysaccharides with antitumor and immunopotentiating qualities were synthesised in cultured mycelia no...

Magic Mushrooms: Screening for Novel Biocatalysts in the Phylum Basidiomycota

The ascending application of enzymes in organic synthesis creates a growing demand for novel biocatalysts. The applied methods for their identification range from microbial enrichment cultures over metagenome screenings to solely computational methods. In this communication, we demonstrate a straightforward screening approach for the detection of novel biocatalysts in fungi belonging to the phy...

Biological Activities of the Polysaccharides Produced in Submerged Culture of Two Edible Pleurotus ostreatus Mushrooms

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) and internal (intracellular) polysaccharides (IPS) obtained from the Pleurotus ostreatus M2191 and PBS281009 cultivated using the batch system revealed an average of between 0.1-2 (EPS) and 0.07-1.5 g/L/day (IPS). The carbohydrate analysis revealed that the polysaccharides comprised 87-89% EPS and 68-74% IPS. The investigation of antioxidant activity in vitro revealed a...

In Vitro Antioxidant and Anti-Proliferation Activities of Polysaccharides from Various Extracts of Different Mushrooms

Polysaccharides were extracted from eight kinds of Chinese mushrooms using three solvents and were evaluated for their total carbohydrate, polyphenolic and protein contents, and antioxidant and anti-proliferation activities. The results suggested that all the polysaccharides had significant antioxidant capacities (EC(50) ranged from 1.70 ± 0.42 to 65.98 ± 1.74 μM TE/g crude polysaccharide inhib...
