In a last few decades mushrooms are increasingly attracting attention as functional food and sources of biologically active compounds. Several Trametes species have been used for centuries in traditional medicine East Asia cultures, but only T. versicolor was studied sufficiently while there less substantial data about medicinal properties other species. versicolor, hirsuta gibbosa were the tested biological activities. Antifungal potentials extracts assessed clinical strains selected...

Abstract Twenty Trichoderma isolates were collected on 13 Serbian Agaricus bisporus farms and one in Bosnia Herzegovina during 2006–2010. Twelve classified into five species by standard mycological studies ITS1 / ITS4 sequence analyses, namely atroviride , koningii virens aggressivum f. europaeum harzianum . Eight not identified to the level but shown be related T. The of exhibited highest virulence harvested A. pilei lowest. Antifungal activity two biofungicides based Bacillus subtilis tea...

Background Mining is a high-risk sector, particularly in underground environments, where workers face daily hazards. This research evaluates workplace safety perceptions Serbian coal mines, ranking by education, age, and job role, while incorporating injury data to provide comprehensive assessment of across different worker groups. Objective study aimed at analyses the correlation between occupational health (OHS) index groups, identify improvement opportunities propose targeted measures for...

Structural component of plant biomass, lignocellulose, is the most abundant renewable resource in nature. Lignin recalcitrant natural aromatic polymer and its degradation presents great challenge. Nowadays, special attention given to biological delignification, process where white-rot fungi take crucial place owing strong ligninolytic enzyme system. However, fungal species, even strains, differ potential produce high active enzymes consequently delignify biomass. Therefore, goals study were...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect high selenium (Se) concentrations on morphophysiological and ultrastructural properties Pleurotus ostreatus. Mycelium growth good in media enriched with 5.0, 10.0, 20.0 mg L(-1) Se, concentration 500.0 strongly inhibited growth, 1000.0 minimum inhibitory concentration. Contrary thin-walled, hyaline, branched, anastomized hyphae clamp-connections control, at Se 100.0 L(-1), they were noticeably short, frequently septed a more intensive...

Various neurodegenerative diseases are the main challenges to modern medicine and there is a great need for novel, natural, neuroprotective agents. Ganoderma lucidum well‐known medicinal mushroom, which health benefits have been confirmed by numerous studies. As demand its basidiocarps increased traditional cultivation on hardwoods not environmentally friendly economically justified, finding of alternative substrates necessary. The aim study was assess effect chemical profile G . their...

The purpose of this study was to resolve the question whether various nitrogen sources and concentrations affect characteristics selected G. lucidum ligninolytic enzymes participating in wheat straw fermentation. This is first reporting presence versatile peroxidase activity crude extract culture, as well isoforms profile Mn-oxidizing peroxidases. NH4NO3 optimum source for laccase Mn-dependent activity, while peptone one activity. with were obtained by native PAGE IEF separations from medium...

Basidiocarps of Pleurotus ostreatus and Agrocybe cylindracea are characterized by high nutritional value numerous medicinal activities, though bioactivities their mycelia have not been sufficiently studied. The aim the study was to evaluate antioxidant antifungal potentials P. A. basidiocarp extracts, as well those obtained from cultivated in common synthetic medium media enriched with various agro-industrial residues. free radical scavenging activity extracts determined...

Trametes hirsuta is an efficient lignin-degrading species due to its ability produce laccase and Mn-dependent peroxidase. Agricultural residues represent prospective substrates for the bioconversion into fungal biomass lignocellulolytic enzymes, but also they could be potential environmental pollutants. Evaluation of T. ligninolytic enzymes during solid-state fermentation selected plant raw materials was goal study. The highest level activity (3827.0 ± 219.0 U/L) noted in mandarin orange...

Trichoderma species, the causal agents of green mould disease, induce great losses in Agaricus bisporus farms. Fungicides are widely used to control mushroom diseases although is encumbered with difficulties. The aims this study were, therefore, research vitro toxicity several commercial fungicides isolates originating from Serbian and Bosnia-Herzegovina farms, evaluate effects pH light on their growth. majority demonstrated optimal growth at 5.0, rest 6.0. A few also grew well 7. weakest...

The study aimed to evaluate the antiradical and antimicrobial (antibacterial antifungal) potentials of ethanol mycelial extracts selected Ganoderma species strains define interand intraspecies diversity among strains. lucidum were good DPPH• scavengers (neutralizing up 57.12% radicals), contrary G. applanatum (20.35%) carnosum (17.04%). High correlations between activities contents total phenols in showed that these compounds carriers activity. Results obtained by both discdiffusion...

Abstract Wheat straw is the major crop residue in European countries which makes it most promising material for bioconversion into biofuels. However, cellulose and hemicellulose are protected with lignin, so delignification an inevitable phase lignocellulose processing. The organisms predominantly responsible its degradation white-rot fungi among them Trametes species represent degraders due to a well-developed ligninolytic enzyme system. Although numerous studies have confirmed that low...

Twenty microfungal isolates were collected from diseased fruiting bodies of Agaricus bisporus sampled Serbian mushroom farms during 2003-2007. Based on morphological characteristics and pathogenicity tests, the identified as Cladobotryum dendroides. The C. dendroides A. bisporusF56 U3 tested for sensitivity to several selected fungicides in vitro. found be more sensitive prochloraz manganese flusilazole + carbendazim than other (EC(50) values 0.09 0.11 mg L(- 1), respectively) weakly...

Trametes species have been used for thousands of years in traditional and conventional medicine the treatment various types diseases. The goal was to evaluate possible antigenotoxic effects mycelium basidiocarp extracts selected assess dependence on their antioxidant potential. versicolor, T. hirsuta , gibbosa were studied. Antigenotoxic potentials assessed human peripheral white blood cells with species. alkaline comet test detection DNA strand breaks alkali‐labile sites, as well extent...
