RESUMO

The main goal of the present study was the exploration of the antifungal properties of Agaricomycetes mushrooms. Among twenty-three tested mushrooms against A. niger, B. cinerea, F. oxysporum, and G. bidwellii, Schizophyllum commune demonstrated highest inhibition rates and showed 35.7%, 6.5%, 50.4%, and 66.0% of growth inhibition, respectively. To reveal culture conditions enhancing the antifungal potential of Sch. commune, several carbon (lignocellulosic substrates among them) and nitrogen sources and their optimal concentrations were investigated. Presence of 6% mandarin juice production waste (MJPW) and 6% of peptone in nutrient medium promoted antifungal activity of selected mushroom. It was determined that, extracts obtained in the presence of MJPW effectively inhibited the grow of pathogenic fungi. Moreover, the content of phenolic compounds in the extracts obtained from Sch. commune grown on MJPW was several times higher (0.87 ± 0.05 GAE/g to 2.38 ± 0.08 GAE/g) than the extracts obtained from the mushroom grown on the synthetic (glycerol contained) nutrient medium (0.21 ± 0.03 GAE/g to 0.88 ± 0.05 GAE/g). Flavonoid contents in the extracts from Sch. commune varied from 0.58 ± 0.03 to 27.2 ± 0.8 mg QE/g. Identification of phenolic compounds composition in water and ethanol extracts were provided by mass spectrometry analysis. Extracts demonstrate considerable free radical scavenging activities and the IC50 values were generally low for the extracts, ranging from 1.9 mg/ml to 6.7 mg/ml. All the samples displayed a positive correlation between their concentration (0.05-15.0 mg/ml) and DPPH radical scavenging activity. This investigation revealed that Sch. commune mushroom has great potential to be used as a source of antifungal and antioxidant substances.

RESUMO

In the present study, the polysaccharide-hydrolyzing secretomes of Irpex lacteus (Fr.) Fr. (1828) BCC104, Pycnoporus coccineus (Fr.) Bondartsev and Singer (1941) BCC310, and Schizophyllum commune Fr. (1815) BCC632 were analyzed in submerged fermentation conditions to elucidate the effect of chemically and structurally different carbon sources on the expression of cellulases and xylanase. Among polymeric substrates, crystalline cellulose appeared to be the best carbon source providing the highest endoglucanase, total cellulase, and xylanase activities. Mandarin pomace as a growth substrate for S. commune allowed to achieve comparatively high volumetric activities of all target enzymes while wheat straw induced a significant secretion of cellulase and xylanase activities of I. lacteus and P. coccineus. An additive effect on the secretion of cellulases and xylanases by the tested fungi was observed when crystalline cellulose was combined with mandarin pomace. In I. lacteus the cellulase and xylanase production is inducible in the presence of cellulose-rich substrates but is suppressed in the presence of an excess of easily metabolizable carbon source. These enzymes are expressed in a coordinated manner under all conditions studied. It was shown that the substitution of glucose in the inoculum medium with Avicel provides accelerated enzyme production by I. lacteus and higher cellulase and xylanase activities of the fungus. These results add new knowledge to the physiology of basidiomycetes to improve cellulase production.

RESUMO

The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity (ABA) of new mushroom strains collected from the mountain and plain forests of Georgia and belonging to different taxonomic groups. Of 30 Basidiomycetes strains tested on agar plates, Schizophyllum commune BCC64 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by the diameter of inhibition zones (17 ± 1 mm and 19 ± 1 mm, respectively). Moreover, this mushroom showed strong activity against Staphylococcus enteritidis (11 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19 mm), and Salmonella epidermitidis (12 mm). In the submerged cultivation in synthetic medium, xylose and glucose ensured the highest ABA toward S. aureus (70% inhibition in microplate rider tests) and E. coli (60%), respectively. Among lignocellulosic materials tested in the submerged and solid-state fermentation, mandarin marc was found to be an excellent growth substrate for ABA accumulation by Sch. commune 64. Of six nitrogen sources, KNO3 favored the mushroom ABA increase against both bacteria. The suitability of the developed nutrient medium has been proven in 7 L fermenter. After fermentation, ethyl acetate extract obtained from culture liquid and ethanol extract obtained from mycelial biomass of Sch. commune 64 showed the best minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against E. coli (0.5 and 2.5 mg/mL, respectively) and S. aureus (1 mg/mL for both extracts).

RESUMO

In this study, the effects of several key factors to increase spore production by Bacillus subtilis subsp. KATMIRA 1933 were evaluated in shake flask experiments. In a synthetic medium, glucose concentration played a crucial role in the expression of bacilli sporulation capacity. In particular, maximum spore yield (2.3 × 109 spores/mL) was achieved at low glucose concentration (2 g/L), and further gradual increase of the carbon source content in the medium caused a decrease in sporulation capacity. Substitution of glucose with several inexpensive lignocellulosic materials was found to be a reasonable way to achieve high cell density and sporulation. Of the materials tested, milled mandarin peels at a concentration of 40 g/L served as the best growth substrate. In these conditions, bacilli secreted sufficient levels of glycosyl hydrolases, providing slow hydrolysis of the mandarin peel's polysaccharides to metabolizable sugars, providing the bacterial culture with an adequate carbon and energy source. Among nitrogen sources tested, peptone was found to favor spore production. Moreover, it was shown that cheese and cottage cheese whey usage, instead of distilled water, significantly increases spore formation. After optimization of the nutrient medium in the shake flask experiments, the technical feasibility of large-scale spore production by B. subtilis KATMIRA 1933 was confirmed in a laboratory fermenter. The spore yield (7 × 1010 spores/mL) obtained using a bioreactor was higher than those previously reported.

RESUMO

Three white-rot fungi displayed a wide diversity in their response to supplemented aromatic compounds. Pyrogallol stimulated Cerrena unicolor laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP) synthesis in synthetic medium 2.5- and 2-fold, respectively, whereas 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) brought about a 2.8-fold increase in laccase yield by Trametes versicolor in submerged fermentation of ethanol production residue. No effect of the tested aromatic compounds on enzyme secretion by Ganoderma lucidum in mannitol-containing medium was detected. Nevertheless, G. lucidum is a potent producer of laccase in submerged fermentation of wheat bran and enzyme synthesis can be further increased by supplementation of medium with an appropriate inducer. The structure and the concentration of aromatic compounds play an important role in the regulation of enzyme synthesis. The supplementation of synthetic medium with 0.03-0.3 mM TNT or hydroquinone increased the differential rate of laccase synthesis by C. unicolor from 1,267 to 3,125-8,630 U mg biomass(-1) day(-1). Moreover, the same aromatic compound may function as either an inducer or a repressor, depending on the fungus and enzyme studied. Thus, hydroquinone increased 3-fold T. versicolor laccase activity decreasing 2- and 8-fold the yields of MnP and endoglucanase, respectively.
