Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) on reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism and quality postharvest Coprinus comatus (C. comatus). Fresh mushrooms were stored at 4 °C with AITC 5, 10, 20 μL/L for 18 d, respectively. Sampling performed every 3 physicochemical parameters ROS related enzymes activities analyzed. Compared control, application 10...

Coprinus comatus, also called chicken drumstick mushroom, is currently commercially available in China. Hot water and ethanolic extracts were prepared from cap and stipe of C. comatus fruit bodies and their antioxidant properties were studied. Ethanolic extract from stipe showed high antioxidant activity (80.6%) at 1 mg/mL. Reducing power of hot water extracts from cap was 1.653 at 10 mg/mL. Ex...

BACKGROUND As the strongest antagonist of the platelet activating factor, ginkgolide B (GB) possesses anti-ischemic, anti-oxidant and anti-convulsant properties, and it is used for the treatment of thrombosis in clinical practice. Till now, GB is usually obtained from extraction of Ginkgo biloba leaves through column chromatography with an extremely low yield and high cost, which can not meet c...

Handsome fungus beetle Lycoperdina succincta (Linnaeus, 1767) from the family Endomychidae is first recorded Kazakhstan (North Kazakhstan, Akmola, and North regions South-East Almaty region). The finds of L. region are currently southernmost localities for this species a new record Central Asia. Coprinus comatus (O.F. Müller) Persoon, 1797, Tulostoma volvulatum I.G. Borshchov, 1865, Bo...

Macro-fungi from different places of   Mazandaran and Tehran provinces, collected since 1982-2000, identified. An account of 16 Coprinus species, namely, Coprinus picaceus, C. cinereus, C. lagopus, C. lagopides, C. macrocephalus, C. brunneofibrillosus, C. subimpatiens, C. angulatus, C. niveus, C. ephemeroides, C. comatus, C. flocculosus, C. scobicola, C. disseminatus, C. plicatilis and C. patou...

In this study the effects of an aqueous suspension of a commercial preparation of the mushroom Coprinus comatus on oxidative stress induced in rats by alloxane and carbon tetrachloride was examined. The effects were estimated from changes in the biochemical parameters (xanthine oxidase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase activity, reduced glutathione content, and extent of lipid peroxidation) ...

Coprinus comatus strains (CCMs) originating from Poland were identified using ITS region sequencing. Based on the sequences obtained, the genetic relationship between the CCM strains was determined and a clear separation of all strains into two main clusters was obtained. The Coprinus strains were also genetically characterized for the first time by the AFLP technique. The analysis showed that ...

The generic classification of the Australian Byrrhinae is revised and the following new genera are described: Notolioon gen. n., Nothochaetes gen. n., Idiothrix gen. n., Akidomorychus gen. n., Brachybyrrhulus gen. n. and Pseudomorychus gen. n. A key is provided for the genera of Australian Byrrhidae. The following new combinations are proposed: Notolioon atronitens (Lea 1920) comb. n., N. bryop...

Mixtures of mycolytic enzymes from various sources release protoplasts from living fungal tissue under suitable conditions. Such enzyme mixtures obtained from Coprinus comatus (mycolase I), Physarum polycephalum (mycolase II) and Lycoperdon pyriforme (mycolase III) are of low toxicity in mammals when given parenterally and are able to cure experimental systemic fungal infections in mice when ad...
