Leucopaxillus giganteus mycelium: effect of nitrogen source on organic acids and alkaloids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work was to find the most useful inorganic nitrogen source to enable Leucopaxillus giganteus to become a more nutritious mushroom, regarding organic acid and phenolic composition and total alkaloids content. For these, the influence of NH 4NO 3,NaNO 2, KNO 3,, and (NH 4) 2HPO 4 on the organic acid production was determined by HPLC-UV and total alkaloid content was assessed by a spectrophotometric method, after precipitation by Dragendorff's reagent. The results showed that L. giganteus presented an organic acid profile composed of oxalic, cis-aconitic, citric, and fumaric acids, citric acid being the major one. The quantitative organic acid profile and total alkaloid content were affected by the nitrogen source and depended on the developmental stage of mycelium and nitrogen availability. Despite being present in all samples, no phenolic compound could be identified.

Studies on the Nutrition of Penicillium roquefortil
Though Penicillium roqueforti is of great economic importance, its nutritional requirements and physiology have received scant attention. In physiological studies, a chemically defined medium capable of supporting the growth of large amounts of mycelium would be an obvious advantage. In a study of the esterase and protease of P. roqueforti, Naylor et al. (1930) modified the medium of Czapek by ...

In fermented products containing Bifidobacteria, factors such as organic acid concentration and b-galactosidase activity are important in the development of flavor and texture of final products. Both the process conditions and medium components have significant effects on fluctuation of such factors. The effects of whey permeate powder and yeast extract concentrations, as nitrogen sources was i...

متن کاملRestriction endonucleases from Herpetosiphon giganteus: an example of the evolution of DNA recognition specificity?
We describe the partial purification and characterisation of five Type II restriction endonucleases from two strains of Herpetosiphon giganteus. One of the activities, HgiJII, was the first enzyme found that cleaves DNA at the family of related sequences 5'-G-R-G-C-Y/C-3'. This enzyme may be related to the enzyme HgiAI from a different strain of the same species, and which cleaves at the sites ...
