White button mushroom—Agaricus bisporus (J.E.Lange) Imbach—is among the most popular cultivated mushrooms worldwide. The serious challenge in industrial mushroom production is green mold disease caused by Trichoderma species. Our aim was to isolate and examine bacterial strains from casing material for their potential use as biocontrol agents. Twenty-seven were isolated tested against pathogens...

background: white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) is a sensitive agricultural crop whose antioxidant properties are decreased during postharvest storage. in this study, the effect of citric acid dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) was investigated. methods: fresh mushrooms soaked in chilled citric acid solution a...

The internal stipe necrosis of cultivated mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) is caused by the bacterium Ewingella americana, a species of the Enterobacteriaceae. Recently, Ewingella americana was isolated from cultivated white button mushrooms in Korea evidencing symptoms of internal stipe browning. Its symptoms are visible only at harvest, and appear as a variable browning reaction in the center of...

Comparative linkage mapping can rapidly facilitate the transfer of genetic information from model species to orphan species. This macrosynteny analysis approach has been extensively used in plant species, but few example are available in fungi, and even fewer in mushroom crop species. Among the latter, the Agaricus genus comprises the most cultivable or potentially cultivable species. Agaricus ...

Mushroom-forming fungi establish mutual beneficial interactions with plants and degrade organic waste. These also play an important role in human societies to produce mycelium materials, as a source of medicinal compounds, food. Bacteria interact mushroom-forming not only competitors for nutrients pathogens but interactions. This review discusses the positive bacteria during different stages li...

Mushrooms have been used by humans for millennia. The commonly cultivated mushrooms include Agaricus, Lentinus, Flammulina, Pleurotusand Volvariella. In India, Button mushroom (Agaricusbisporus)is the most followed Pleurotus(Shah et al., 2013). Mushrooms are mainly subjected to bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. production of fruiting bod...

Janthinobacterium agaricidamnosum causes soft-rot disease of the cultured button mushroom Agaricus bisporus and is thus responsible for agricultural losses. Here, we present the genome sequence of J. agaricidamnosum DSM 9628. The 5.9-Mb genome harbors several secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters, which renders this neglected bacterium a promising source for genome mining approaches.
