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...

The antinociceptive activity of mycelial extract from fermented mushroom of Ganoderma lucidum Coprinus comatus and Grifola frondosa were studied in this paper. The writhing test, formalin test and hot-plate test were used to evaluate the antinociceptive activity of the acetone extracts of the three Species of Fungi of Basidiomycetes in the study respectively. The extract of Ganoderma lucidum in...

In order to screen lignocellulose-degrading superior mushroom strains ten strains of mushrooms (Lentinus edodes939, Pholiota nameko, Lentinus edodes868, Coprinus comatus, Macrolepiota procera, Auricularia auricula, Hericium erinaceus, Grifola frondosa, Pleurotus nebrodensis, and Shiraia bambusicola) were inoculated onto carboxymethylcellulose agar-Congo red plates to evaluate their ability to p...

BACKGROUND Sand flies of subgenus Adlerius has a wide geographical distribution in Iran and are mostly found in wild form in mountainous areas. They are always considered as probable vectors of visceral leishmaniasis. The objective of this study was to determine the Adlerius species and its composition in an endemic focus of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in northwest of the country. METHODS...

Goniocolletes comatus Maynard, 2013 is redescribed. Goniocolletes wanni sp. n. and the male of Trichocolletes luteorufus Batley & Houston, 2012 are described.

background : female sand flies of subgenus adlerius are considered as probable vectors of visceral leishmaniasis in iran. the objective of this study was to determine the morphological and genotypic variations in the populations of this subgenus in the country. methods : sand flies collected using sticky traps from 17 provinces during 2008–2010. the morphometric measurements were conducted with...

The species of the mostly Neotropical Region Apocephalus analis group are revised, and found to comprise 21 species, 19 of which are new to science: A. bilineatus, A. euryacanthus, A. holdenae, A. mexacanthus, A. paracanthus, and A. rectisetus in the newly recognized A. comatus series, and the following unclassified species: A. amacayacuensis, A. amati, A. amenti, A. amorimi, A. camarae, A. cri...

BACKGROUND Although many physiological functions of Coprinus comatus have been reported, there has been no report on the antinociceptive activity of Coprinus comatus. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to demonstrate the production, isolation, and biological properties of triglycerides (TFC) of the fermented mushroom of Coprinus comatus. METHODS The effects of TFC on cytokines l...

The determination of the antioxidant potential of lyophilized mushroom mycelia from 5 strains of the species Pleurotus ostreatus and Coprinus comatus (obtained by submerged cultivation in batch system) was analyzed as ethanolic extracts by evaluating ABTS and the hydroxyl scavenging activity, FRAP method, the chelating capacity, the inhibition of human erythrocyte hemolysis, and the inhibition ...
