Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that causes gray mold on many fruit crops. Despite the availability of a large number of botryticides, the chemical control of gray mold has been hindered by the emergence of resistant strains. In this paper, tests were done to determine the botryticidal efficacy of selected plant extracts alone or combined with kresoxim-methyl. In total, eight South African medicin...

Twenty-eight days subacute toxicity studies performed in rats using sclerotial powder of Lignosus cameronensis cultivar was conducted to assess its safety for consumption prior to other scientific investigations on its medicinal benefits, nutraceutical or pharmaceutical application of the mushroom. The study was conducted at 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg sclerotial powder of L. cameronensis cultivar...

The depletion of fossil fuels and the emission greenhouse gases have increased demand for new sustainable energy sources, leading to growing interest in using fast-growing filamentous fungi as a source bioenergy. This study aimed optimize production exopolysaccharides (EPS) mycelial biomass (MB) from native medicinal mushroom, Lignosus rhinocerus, through submerged liquid fermentation. Using re...
