KRUPODOROVA T.A., BARSHTEYN V.YU., KIZITSKA T.O., POKAS E.V. (2019): Effect of cultivation conditions on mycelial growth and antibacterial activity of Lentinula edodes and Fomitopsis betulina. [xylotrophic basidiomycetes, shiitake, Piptoporus, fungal growth conditions, fungal antibiotic activity.] Czech Mycology 71(2): 167-186 (published: 13th December, 2019)
abstract
This research dealt with the effect of cultivation conditions on mycelial growth and antibacterial activity of Lentinula edodes and Fomitopsis betulina in liquid static culture. The antibacterial activity of mycelium and culture liquid were assayed against the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using the disk diffusion method. The optimum incubation period of mycelial growth for both species and their antibacterial activity was 14 days. The biomass of the studied species was the largest at temperatures of 26–28 °C. The highest mycelium production was recorded at pH 3.5–4.0, whereas the strongest antibacterial activity was observed at pH 5.5. Of the carbon sources tested, the highest mycelium productivity of L. edodes was recorded for glucose, followed by cellulose. Cellulose was found to be the optimal carbon source for the highest antibacterial activity of L. edodes. Cellulose was also the optimal carbon source for mycelial growth in F. betulina, but the highest antibacterial activity was achieved with added galactose. For both fungal species, asparagine was found to be the nitrogen source producing a maximum biomass, whereas the highest antibacterial activity of L. edodes and F. betulina was noticed after adding ammonium nitrate and peptone, respectively. The antibacterial potential of culture liquids appeared to be higher in the studied species when compared to their mycelium. Establishing optimum cultivation conditions will allow for obtaining maximum productivity of mycelium and culture liquids with the highest antibacterial activity.
GABRIEL J., GRODZYNSKA G.A., NEBESNYI V.B., LANDIN V.P. (2023): Radioactive contamination of mushrooms from Polis'ke Forestry (Kyiv Region, Ukraine) long after the Chornobyl accident. [anthropogenic radionuclides, accumulation, fungi, dose, Polissya.] Czech Mycology 75(2): 117-137 (published: 12th September, 2023)
abstract
A study of the radiocaesium activity in fruitbodies of 54 mushroom species from 18 locations of Polis'ke Forestry complex was carried out with gamma spectrometry. In some mushroom samples, strontium was determined with a radiochemical method. However, the mushrooms accumulated 137Cs one to three orders of magnitude more actively than 90Sr. The highest levels of 137Cs activity, recorded in Lactarius rufus, Imleria badia, Paxillus involutus and Cortinarius praestans from the forest area at the settlement of Polis'ke in 1998 and 2000, exceeded 1 MBq/kg dry mass. By 2018, the activity of 137Cs in 60.0% and 37.84% of mushroom samples in the Zelenopolyans'ke and Steshchyns'ke Forestries, respectively, exceeded the maximum permissible level valid in Ukraine, 2,500 Bq/kg dry mass. Significant differences in the levels of contamination of the same species are noted not only at different locations, but also within the same sampling site, which is probably associated with a complex of factors which are difficult to assess, such as extremely heterogeneous nature of contamination, depth of mycelium in the soil layer, and microclimatic conditions in the place where individual fruitbodies grow. The data obtained indicate a persistent risk to the population due to internal exposure as a result of uncontrolled consumption of wild mushrooms in this region. In 2018, the potential equivalent dose per year (contribution of 137Cs only) reached maximum values of 0.239 mSv in Suillus spp. and 0.130 mSv in Imleria badia from Zelenopolyans'ke Forestry.
KRUPODOROVA T., BARSHTEYN V., KIZITSKA T., RATUSHNYAK V., BLUME Y. (2023): Antagonistic activity of selected macromycetes against two harmful micromycetes. [ascomycetes, Aspergillus niger, basidiomycetes, dual-culture, Penicillium polonicum.] Czech Mycology 75(1): 85-100 (published: 23rd June, 2023)
abstract
Competition between 31 macromycete species and two harmful micromycetes Aspergillus niger and Penicillium polonicum was evaluated using dual-culture plate assay. All investigated fungi, except for Inonotus obliquus and Lepista luscina, possessed different levels of antagonistic activity against the tested micromycetes. Hypsizygus marmoreus and Lyophyllum shimeji were inactive against A. niger. Morchella esculenta and Oxyporus obducens were passive in the case of co-growth with P. polonicum. The study of fungal interactions showed variability in types of reactions and level of their visualisation. Co-cultivation of the studied species resulted in the following reactions: deadlock after mycelial contact and at a distance, partial or complete replacement after initial deadlock on contact. In general, the studied macromycetes showed moderate activity against the two micromycetes, as 11 species showed active and 7 species moderate antagonism. Results revealed higher antagonistic activity of macromycetes against P. polonicum than in A. niger co-cultures. Wood-decaying species Ganoderma lucidum and Trametes versicolor were the most active fungi against the two tested micromycetes with a maximal antagonism index. These findings provide valuable insights which can be further explored by means of in vivo assays to find a suitable agent for the biocontrol of diseases or spoilage caused by A. niger and P. polonicum.
