Ganoderma applanatum is one of the most popular medicinal mushrooms due to the various biologically active components it produces. This study was conducted to obtain basic information regarding the mycelial culture conditions of Ganoderma applanatum. Based on the colony diameter and mycelial density, PDA, YMA and MCM media were suitable for the mycelial growth of the mushroom. The optimum tempe...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate antimicrobial activity of Ganoderma applanatum, Tricholoma giganteum and Bolbitius vitellinus. The methanolic extract of basidiocarps and mycelial mat of all the above mentioned mushrooms was analyzed. The methanolic extracts were tested against three Gram positive, six Gram negative bacteria and two fungal cultures. Out of three mushrooms Ganoderma ...

Three white-rot fungi, Polyporus versicolor, Ganoderma applanatum, and Peniopbora “G,” produce an adaptive cellulase complex that can degrade both soluble cellulose (Cx) and microcrystalline cellulose (C1), a highly ordered form of cellulose. Production of Cx and C1 by the white-rot fungi was repressed by simple sugars. Cellualase preparations from three brown-rot fungi, Poria monticola, Lentin...

AIMS The effect of synthetic media on the submerged mycelial growth and exo-biopolymer production in various edible mushrooms was investigated in shake flask culture. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 19 mushrooms examined, the relatively high yield in mycelial biomass and exo-biopolymer production was achieved in potato malt peptone (PMP) medium. In particular, Ganoderma lucidum NO. 1 and Phellinus ...

Background Chinese medicine often targets more than one system and as such comprises several compounds, often in non-purified form, with treatments therefore consisting of whole extracts of herbs rather than isolated compounds. The additive and synergistic effects of the phytochemicals in OMN54, a novel mixture of extracts from three commonly used Chinese medicine components; Ganoderma lucidum,...

background: the major immuno-modulating effects of ganoderma lucidum include mitogenicity and activation of immune effector cells such as t cells, macrophages and natural killer cells resulting in the production of cytokines. objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of cd40 and cd80 by g. lucidum-treated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. methods: monocytes wer...
