Abstract: An analysis of the 2 kb nucleotide sequence including the 5'-flanking region of a cell-adhesion protein- encoding gene (mfbA) isolated from the basidiomycete Lentinus edodes revealed that the promoter region contains a TATA box, a GC box, a CAAT box, a CT-rich sequence element, a TATA box, two CT-rich sequences, and a CAAT box, in that order, from upstream to downstream. Three major and three alternative transcriptional initiation sites were located 127, 129 and 131 nucleotides and 96, 193 and 197 nucleotides downstream from the downstream TATA box, and all the three major sites are positioned just in the most downstream CT-rich sequence. Three 16 bp unique sequences similar to the binding sites of Neurospora crassa transcriptional activator protein qa-1F (Baum et al. (1987) Expression of qa-1F activator protein: Identification of upstream binding sites in the qa gene cluster and localization of the DNA-binding domain. Mol. Cell. Biol. 7, 1256-1266) were present between the upstream TATA box and upstream CAAT box.

Abstract: Waste-olive-waters arising from the solid- liquid processing system were degraded in agitated liquid cultures of the white-rot fungus Lentinus edodes. About 45% of biodecolouration and 75% of total organic carbon reduction were achieved within 4 days. Over the same period, the content of total phenols was reduced by 66%. The release of exo-enzymes involved in the metabolism of phenolic compounds (phenol-oxidases and Mn-peroxidase) was greatly enhanced with respect to the control. A highly-significant correlation was observed between decolourization, total organic carbon and total phenols.

Abstract: Lentinula (Lentinus) edodes, strain L54, produces manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and laccase, but not lignin peroxidase, when grown on a defined medium with glucose as sole carbon source. MnP production is suppressed by nitrogen whereas highest levels of laccase were observed when the fungus was grown under high nitrogen (26 mM) conditions. Both the titre and time of appearance of MnP were affected by the concentration of Mn in the culture medium with highest enzyme levels recorded in cultures supplemented with 1.1 ppm Mn. Purified MnP from L. edodes L54 has an apparent Mr of 59000 and a pI of 5.6, and differs in several respects from a MnP isolated from L. edodes grown on a commercial wood substrate.

Abstract: Dry shiitake (Lentinus edodes Sing) was irradiated with doses of 5 and 10 kGy using 60Co. The total volatile compounds were decreased by more than 50%. Irradiation increased the concentrations of some minor volatile compounds, such as 3-methyl-2-butanol and 1-hexanol. However, the major flavour compounds including eight-carbon and sulphur-containing compounds were significantly reduced. The ratio of the eight- carbon compounds, such as 3-octanone, 3-octanol and 1-octen-3-ol, to total volatiles decreased from 72% in the control to 21% in the 10 kGy irradiated samples. The unidentified compounds which may have been formed by decomposition or polymerization following irradiation of precursors need to be studied in greater depth.

Abstract: By using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) as genetic markers, the modes of mitochondrial inheritance in sexual crosses and protoplast cell fusions of the higher basidiomycete Lentinula edodes were examined. All newly established dikaryons from reciprocal crosses between compatible monokaryons carrying different mtDNA RFLP phenotypes retained mtDNA genotypes from one of the monokaryons, suggesting that mitochondrial inheritance is principally uniparental. In contrast, it was shown that recombinant mtDNA genomes arose in some dikaryons obtained after protoplast cell fusion. Based on these results, a possible mechanism for mitochondrial inheritance in L. edodes is discussed.

Abstract: Mannitol metabolism was evaluated in fruiting bodies of Lentinus edodes. Cell extracts were prepared from fruiting bodies, and key enzymes involved in mannitol metabolism were assayed, including hexokinase, mannitol dehydrogenase, mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase, mannitol-1-phosphatase, and fructose-6- phosphatase. Mannitol dehydrogenase, fructose-6- phosphatase, mannitol-1-phosphatase, and hexokinase activities were found in extracts of fruiting bodies. However, mannitol-1- phosphate dehydrogenase activity was not detected. Mycelial cultures were grown in an enriched liquid medium, and enzymes of the mannitol cycle were assayed in cell extracts of rapidly growing cells. Mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was also not found in mycelial extracts. Hence, evidence for a complete mannitol cycle both in vegetative mycelia and during mushroom development was lacking. The pathway of mannitol synthesis in L. edodes appears to utilize fructose as an intermediate.

Abstract: An Aspergillus species (Aspergillus candidus 362) was isolated from contaminated spent Lentinus edodes compost. Using synchronous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) by the isolate and a yeast strain (Endomycopsis fibuliger 253) under solid-state conditions, the crude protein contents were increased from 24.1 to 32.3% and from 28.4 to 36.7% for Pleurotus ostreatus- and Lentinus edodes-spent-compost media, respectively. The crude fibre contents of the composts were substantially decreased. After fermentation the in vitro digestibility of crude protein was improved to 70%. The total and essential amino acid contents made up 73.3 and 37.1% of the crude protein, respectively. The fermented spent composts media were highly-nutritious fodder for poultry and animals.

Abstract: Although the button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) accounts for slightly over half of total world mushroom production, specialty mushrooms, e.g., shiitake (Lentinula edodes), straw (Volvariella volvacea), oyster (Pleurotus spp.), and enokitake (Flammulina velutipes), are increasing in popularity. These species contain moderate quantities of good quality protein and are good sources of dietary fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals. Lipid levels are low, but unsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratios are high (about 2.0 - 4.5:1). Some species (e.g., shiitake) accumulate cadmium and selenium and other heavy metals, and some may contain toxic substances such as the heat labile cardiotoxic proteins volvatoxin in the straw mushroom and flammutoxin in enokitake. Extensive clinical studies, primarily in Japan, have clearly demonstrated that a number of species have medicinal and therapeutic value, by injection or oral administration, in the prevention/treatment of cancer, viral diseases (influenza, polio), hypercholesterolemia, blood platelet aggregation, and hypertension. Most of the studies have focused on shiitake, enokitake, Pleurotus spp., and on the generally nonculinary Ganoderma spp. Many of the active substances which include polysaccharides (e.g., beta-glucans), nucleic acid derivatives (the hypocholesterolemic eritadenine), lipids, peptides, proteins, and glycoproteins, have been isolated and identified. Some of the mechanisms of activity have been elucidated, e.g., antiviral activity via stimulation of interferon production in the host. Additional medical claims less well documented may nonetheless have some validity and merit further study.

Descriptors: pleurotus-sajor-caju; growing-media; recycling; lentinula-edodes; waste-utilization; calcium- carbonate; soybeans; supplements; spawn; crop-yield; size; biological-efficiency

Abstract: Pleurotus sajor-caju was produced on a basal medium containing "spent" shiitake substrate plus 10% wheat bran and 10% millet. An analysis of the fibrous composition of the spent shiitake substrate revealed that 85% of the original hemicellulose, 44% of the original cellulose and 77% of the original lignin was not consumed during production of a full crop (78% biological efficiency) of shiitake (63-day harvest period). To produce P. sajor-caju, the spent shiitake substrate was ground, air dried, supplemented, pasteurized with live steam and spawned. Highest yields (79% biological efficiency) of P. sajor- caju were obtained by supplementing the spent shiitake basal medium with 12% soybean and 1% CaCO3. Increases in percentage biological efficiency and mushroom size were positively correlated with increasing levels of CaCO3 added to the basal medium.

Descriptors: lentinula-edodes; monophenol- monooxygenase; enzyme-activity; protein-content; ergosterol; biomass-production; growth; sawdust; fermentation; synthetic-logs

Abstract: The growth of four strains of the shiitake mushroom Lentinus edodes in solid substrate fermentation in synthetic oak sawdust logs was studied over a 14-week period. Total extracellular phenol oxidase activity and soluble protein were monitored and biomass estimated as the ergosterol content of the fermented sawdust. It was observed that two of the strains had a similar pattern of phenol oxidase activity with two cycles with maxima at 2 and 8 weeks of mycelial growth prior to fruiting. With the other two strains there was a maximum at week 4. For each strain, phenol oxidase activity increased with the cold shock used to induce fruiting. Phenol oxidase activity was not found to be correlated with either soluble protein or total fungal biomass in the fermented sawdust, which were correlated for each strain. Quantification of biomass from submerged liquid culture on the basis of dry weight and ergosterol contents showed that the strains fell into the same two groups with respect to the ergosterol to biomass ratio, which was markedly lower than that for a strain of L. lepideus.

Abstract: A mixture of apple pomace and sawdust was tested as a s production of shiitake [Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler] and oyster mushroom [Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) Kummer and P. sajor-caju Fr.) Sing.] on synthetic logs. My- celia grew faster and more densely in logs containing apple pomace than in sawdust alone. Five shiitake isolates and two Pleurotus spp. produced higher fresh weights on a mixture of equal parts (by weight) of apple pomace and sawdust than on either substrate alone. An alternative substrate based on sawdust, millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), bran gave almost identical overall yield as pomace-sawdust medium, but there was a significant differential effect of the sustrates on yield of the two tested shiitake isolates. Analyses and experiments in vitro suggested that optimal N levels provided by apple pomace account in part for its effectiveness.

Abstract: Single 10-base primers were used to generate randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers in the shiitake mushroom, Lentinula edodes. Seven primers produced polymorphisms in all 15 strains tested, producing 12-19 bands ranging from 0.34 to 2.52 kb. Thirteen of the 15 strains had unique DNA fingerprints, whereas L. edodes ATCC 28759 and ATCC 28760 exhibited identical RAPD profiles for all the primers. Molecular- genetic markers obtained with the RAPD assay can be used to differentiate strains of L. edodes and have potential applications in mushroom breeding and strain improvement programs.

Abstract: Extract: The contents of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), lignin, pectic substance, and crude fiber in 26 kinds of mushrooms were assayed as dietary fiber (DF). The mean contents of these substances were (as percentage of dry weight) 35.7% for NDF, 14.3% for ADF, 2.9% for lignin, 3.7% for pectic substance, and 9.7% for crude fiber. Thus, the cellulose (ADF-lignin) was 11.4%, hemicelulose (NDF- ADF) was 21.4%, and the total DF (NDF plus pectic substance) was 39.4%. The ratio of crude fiber to total DF for each group of mushroom was in a range of high values of 5.7. On the other hand, the mean DF contents in 35 kinds of edible wild plants (as percentage of dry weight) were : 24.1% for NDF, 16.3% for ADF, 3.1% for lignin, 2.3% for pectic substance, and 9.6% for crude fiber. Thus the cellulose was 13.2%, hemicellulose was 7.8% and total DF was 26.6%. The ratio of crude fiber to total DF for each group of edible wild plant was in a range of 1.8-6.4. The effect of feeding with the diet containing NDF isolated from Shiitake (Lentinus edodes) upon the level of plasma cholesterol in the rat was investigated. It was found tht NDF without eritadenine might suppress the cholesterol level. It was also observed that cholesterol levels in the plasma and liver were decreased by increasing the amount of Shiitake NDF added to the diet. Thus, addition of more than 5.0% of Shiitake NDF significantly reduced plasma cholesterol level, while the liver cholesterol level also was significantly lowered by adding 10.0% of Shiitake NDF to the diet.

Abstract: Enzyme assays and electrophoresis were used to monitor the activity of tyrosinase, laccase, and peroxidase in Agaricus bisporus (common cultivated button mushrooms and Crimini mushrooms), Oyster, and Shiitake mushrooms. The three enzymes could be differentiated using specific substrates and inhibitors. Tyrosinase seemed to be the major phenol oxidase in the Agaricus strains, while Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms had much lower levels. Peroxidase activity was low or undetectable in all types examined. Control of enzymatic browning in different mushroom types may depend upon the distribution of different oxidases within any given type.
