Evaluation Studies on Bioactivities and Medicinal Properties of Aqueous Extract of Pleurotus Ostreatus
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Medicine - Pharmacology, grade: A, , course: Biotehcnology, language: English, abstract: Pleurotus ostreatus is primarily an edible mushroom with high nutritional value and biomedical relevance, as it contains numerous bioactive components that generate the development of therapeutic effects. The purpose of this study is to determine the phytopharmacological effects of Pleurotus ostreatus. FT-IR analysis revealed the presence of cycloalkane, nitriles, halogen compounds, aromatic monosubstituted compounds, and carboxyl acid. The presence of 12 bioactive compounds was revealed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and components in the extract were identified and quantified using HPLC. The antimicrobial efficacy of Pleurotus ostreatus aqueous extract against Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus amyloliquifaciens seems promising. The extract’s anticancer efficacy against HeLa and MCF7 at 25 μg/ml and exhibits strong cytotoxicity with an IC50 of 6.8 μg/mL and 17.5 μg/mL respectively.
Pleurotus nebrodensis A Very Special Mushroom
First described by Giuseppe Inzenga in 1863 as “the most delicious mushroom of the Sicilian mycological flora”, Pleurotus nebrodensis remains today a prized species , especially in the Mediterranean. Pleurotus nebrodensis was sought after since ancient times as a delicious mushroom in the Madonie mountains of Sicily. Tourists and local people can appreciate the organoleptic qualities of the mushrooms in restaurants where delicious cuisine are prepared with raw or cooked mushrooms. However, its appearance and numbers are declining in nature and this species has been categorized as ‘CR’ (Critically Endangered) according to IUCN Red List Criteria. In situ conservation action for this fu...
Pleurotus Mushrooms
The first chapter provides an overview of the current knowledge on degradation of natural compounds and xenobiotics via Pleurotus fungi, especially focusing on the involvement of metabolic pathways and the cataclysmic properties of the enzymes. In the second chapter, Maura Téllez-Téllez and Gerardo Díaz-Godínez discuss the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus and its nutritious properties and therapeutic applications. Continuing, Hesham El Enshasy, Farid Agouillal, Zarani Mat, Roslinda Abd Malek, Zulaiha Hanapi, and Ong Mei Leng discuss Pleurotus ostreatus and its production of enzymes with beneficial properties in the third chapter. In the fourth chapter, Gerhard Gramss and Klaus-Dieter Voigt present data that showcases the role fungi play in food production, as well as their impact on growth technology and enzyme production. Lastly, Noé Aguilar-Rivera, Régulo Carlos Llarena-Hernández, Rosalía Núñez-Pastrana, Christian Michel-Cuello, Jie Chen, and Luis Enrique Aquino-Solis present a study evaluating the potential for sugar cane harvest in Veracruz, Mexico.
Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms of New England and Eastern Canada
This beautifully illustrated guidebook provides specific, easy-to-understand information on finding, collecting, identifying, and preparing the safer and more common edible and medicinal mushroom species of New England and Eastern Canada. Author David Spahr, a trained commercial photographer, here combines his mycological expertise and photographic skill to produce an attractive and detailed overview of his subject. Based on decades of practical experience and research, the book is written in a clear and forthright style that avoids the dry, generic descriptions of most field guides. Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms of New England and Eastern Canada also provides useful ideas for cooking mushrooms. Rather than simply providing recipes, the book discusses the cooking characteristics of each variety, with advice about matching species with appropriate foods. Many mushrooms contain unique medicinal components for boosting the immune system to fight cancer, HIV, and other diseases, and Spahr offers practical and prudent guidelines for exploration of this rapidly emerging area of alternative therapeutic practice.
Antifungal activity of cultivated oyster mushrooms on various agro-wastes
Academic Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Biology - Ecology, , language: English, abstract: The oyster mushroom, Pleurotus spp., is edible. About seventy species of Pleurotus spp. have been recorded. Many oyster mushrooms are primary decomposers of hardwood trees found worldwide. Thus, it can be cultivated on a wide variety of substrates containing lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. It must obtain nutrients from such organic sources as dead organisms since they had absorbed nutrients after digesting large molecules into smaller units because of their secreted enzymes; thus, it has been grown in Iraq on various agro-wastes in the wild, or manually on cardboard, date palm wastes, and ...
