Stipe Canker Caused by Trichothecium roseum on the Edible Shaggy Mane Coprinus comatus in China

Antioxidant properties of cap and stipe from Coprinus comatus.

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...

Optimal Conditions for the Mycelial Growth of Coprinus comatus Strains

The principal objective of this study was to acquire basic data regarding the mycelial growth characteristics for the artificial cultivation of Coprinus comatus. 12 URP primers were employed to evaluate the genetic relationships of C. comatus, and the results were divided into three groups. Among six kinds of mushroom media, MYP medium was selected as the most favorable culture medium for C. co...

Roseocardin, a novel cardiotonic cyclodepsipeptide from Trichothecium roseum TT103.

A new cyclodepsipeptide, designated roseocardin, was isolated from the culture broth of Trichothecium roseum TT103. Roseotoxin B and destruxins A and B were also isolated during the same procedure. The structure of roseocardin was determined by EI-MS, NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis. Roseocardin as well as the other cyclodepsipeptides were shown to produce positive inotropic effects on ...

Optimization of parameters for α-amylase production under solid state fermentation by Trichothecium roseum

The production of extracellular α-amylase by Trichothecium roseum was studied in solid state fermentation (SSF). The effects of wheat bran (WB), rye straw (RS), corncob leaf (CL), sunflower oil meal (SOM) and rice husk (RH) were examined. WB exhibited the highest enzyme production. The appropriate moisture level, incubation period, moistening agent, incubation temperature, inoculum level and pa...
