Solvent extracts of Rhus verniciflua Stokes wood were made using decompressing inner ebullition, and a Box-Behnken design was used to optimize extraction conditions to produce an extract that inhibited tyrosinase activity. The chemical compositions and inhibition rates were determined in extracts made with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and an aqueous fractionation. The ethyl acetat...

The antimutagenic activity of the methanolic extract of the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) P. Krast. occurring in South India was investigated. The activity was assayed by Ames Salmonella mutagenicity test using histidine mutants of Salmonella typhimurium tester strains, TA98, TA100 and TA102. The methanolic extract of the mushroom significantly inhibited (P<0.001) the in vitro sodi...

in this study, natural and artificial radioactivity concentration in agaricus bispora (nourished mushroom) and their composts, cantharellus cibarius and coprinus micaceuc (wild species) were determined. samples were collected from sahne and two kinds of wild mushroom species from songhor koliai township gardens all located in kermanshah province were collected. hpge gamma ray spectrometry syste...

A heteropolysaccharide (PS-I) and an insoluble glucan (PS-II) were isolated from the alkaline extract of edible mushroom Pleurotus sajor-caju, cultivar Black Japan. The polysaccharide was found to consist D-glucose D-galactose in a molar ratio 3:1. Based on total acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis, NMR experiments (1H, 13C, DQF-COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, ROESY, HMQC, HMBC), structure repeating unit...

Bachground: Toxic plants are an important reason for poisoning. The responsible plants are variable in different geographic spots. Some areas such as Lorestan province have more variety in herbal plants because of geographic condition. Because of high poisoning incidence with toxic plants and mushroom, we assessed the incidence of poisoning with mushroom and toxic plants (Tattore and Ricinus ...

Microorganisms can colonize a wide variety of medical devices, putting patients in risk for local and systemic infectious complications, including local-site infections, catheter-related bloodstream infections, and endocarditis. These microorganisms are able to grow adhered to almost every surface, forming architecturally complex communities termed biofilms. The use of natural products has been...

abstract edible white button mushroom is a secondary decomposer and the activity of other micro-organisms is necessary to decompose the raw compounds for its growth. actinomycetes bacteria due to their ability to decompose the compound molecules such as cellulose, lingo-cellulose and lignin, play an important role in the composting process for the mushroom. bacterial biomass of actinomycetes co...

In this study, pH sensitive microsphere polymeric drug carriers were produced by using biodegradable natural gelatin and sodium alginate polymers. Microspheres loaded with prepared Ganoderma lucidum extract that is a medicinal mushroom has the potential to be used in several diseases’ treatment. Extract release kinetics of microspheres examined spectrophotometric method an UV spectrometer. Buff...

In the present investigation, iron nanoparticles were synthesized by using mushroom extract. The production of from P. florida was initially confirmed color changes brown to dark within 30 min at 60° and further characterized Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy scanning electron microscope with Edax. biosynthesized subjected antimicrobial activities showed higher zone inhibition against Candida gl...

Trametes versicolor (L.) Lloyd known as turkey tail, is a medicinal mushroom belonging to the Polyporaceae. Although consumption and commercial sale of this in our country new, it has been used for centuries medicine some countries, especially China. In study, was aimed determine antimicrobial antioxidant effects ethanol methanol extracts T. versicolor. Its were determined by disk diffusion mic...
