Gottlieb, David (University of Illinois, Urbana), and James L. Van Etten. Changes in fungi with age. I. Chemical composition of Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium bataticola. J. Bacteriol. 91:161-168. 1966.-The chemical composition of the mycelium of Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium bataticola was determined in cells of various ages. The percentage, per unit of dry weight, of soluble amino nitr...

The fungus species Wolfiporia extensa has a long history of medicinal usage and has also been commercially used to formulate nutraceuticals and functional foods in certain Asian countries. In the present study, a practical and promising method has been developed to discriminate the dried sclerotium of W. extensa collected from different geographical sites based on UV spectroscopy together with ...

Yak1, a member of the dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated protein kinases, plays an important role in diverse cellular processes in fungi. However, to date, the role of BcYak1 in Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold diseases in various plant species, remains uncharacterized. Our previous study identified one lysine acetylation site (Lys252) in BcYak1, which is the fir...

Poria cocos WOLF), belonging to the Polyporaceae in basidiomycetes, forms sclerotia on the roots of such trees as pine, cedar, fir and oak. The major host plant of this fungus in Japan, China and Korea is the pine and the dried sclerotium of W. cocos is called “Bukuryo” in Japanese. In the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, the external layer is usually mostly removed. It is one of the most important crud...

The production of Schizophyllan by Schizophyllum commune and Scleroglucan by Sclerotium rolfsii is growth associated. Shear stress as a result of the impeller type and rotation speed as well as an optimum but not maximum oxygen supply are the key factors for enhanced production. Batch cultivations resulted maximum yields of 13 g L for both ß-glucans. In oxygen limited chemostats with biomass fe...
