Volatile Organic Components from Fresh Non-edible Basidiomycetes Fungi

Antioxidant Assay of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles from Edible Basidiomycetes Mushroom Fungi

Background: In recent years, nanotechnology research is emerging as cutting edge technology interdisciplinary with physics, chemistry, biology, material science and medicine. AuNPs and AgNPs are an important class of nanomaterial for a wide range of biomedical applications. Synthesis of AuNPs and AgNPs through biological route is preferred due to its environment-friendly and economic aspects. M...

Studies on the bioactive compounds of selected edible basidiomycetes mushroom fungi

The present study evaluated the anti-cell proliferation properties of edible basidiomycetes mushroom fungi against human breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines. The cells were treated with Dichloromethane (DCM) mycelial extracts of the mushroom fungi at different concentrations. Cytotoxic studies on the breast cancer cell lines (MCF -7) showed the anti-cell proliferation activity of DCM mycelial extrac...

Organic non-volatile memories from ferroelectric phase-separated blends.

New non-volatile memories are being investigated to keep up with the organic-electronics road map. Ferroelectric polarization is an attractive physical property as the mechanism for non-volatile switching, because the two polarizations can be used as two binary levels. However, in ferroelectric capacitors the read-out of the polarization charge is destructive. The functionality of the targeted ...

Organic Acid Production by Basidiomycetes

TAKAO, SHOICHI (Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan). Organic acid production by Basidiomycetes. I. Screening of acid-producing strains. Appl. Microbiol. 13:732737. 1965.-Sixty-seven strains belonging to 47 species of Basidiomycetes were examined for their acid-producing abilities in glucose media, in both the presence and absence of CaCO3, in stationary and shake cultures. Some strains were fo...
