The agricultural sector generates approximately 1300 million tonnes of waste annually, where up to 50% comprising raw material are discarded without treatment. Economic development and rising living standards have increased the quantity complexity generated resulting in environmental, health economic issues. This calls for a greener management system such as valorization or recovery into products. For successful implementation, social acceptance is an essential component with involvement all...
The genus Lentinus (Polyporaceae, Basidiomycota) is widely documented from tropical and temperate forests taxonomically controversial. Here we studied the relationships between subg. sensu Pegler (i.e. sections Lentinus, Tigrini, Dicholamellatae, Rigidi, Lentodiellum Pleuroti polypores that share similar morphological characters). We generated sequences of internal transcribed spacers (ITS) partial 28S regions nuc rDNA genes encoding largest subunit RNA polymerase II (RPB1), focusing on...
Oxidative stress has been known as a key factor of many disorders affecting human beings. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) attack vital biomolecules, weakening their functioning, thus exacerbating diseases. To attenuate oxidative stress-associated diseases novel approaches antioxidant therapies have anticipated. Antioxidants the potential to inhibit propagation and formation ROS. Dillenia suffruticosa is medicinal plant, used by local people for treatment various ailments. The study aimed...
Bats are extraordinary mammals. They have evolved to consume various dietary sources, such as insects, fruits, nectar, blood, and meat. This diversity has generated considerable interest in the scientific community, resulting efforts leverage bats model organisms study correlation between diet gut microbiome community. Although studies now commonly use Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), similar early their development Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia, which harbours an incredibly diverse...
We propose a taxonomic revision of the two closely related white-rot polypore species, Skeletocutis nivea (Jungh.) Jean Keller and S. ochroalba Niemelä (Incrustoporiaceae, Basidiomycota), based on phylogenetic analyses nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) translation elongation factor EF-1α sequences. show that prevailing morphological species concepts are non-monophyletic we delineate new boundaries inference. recognise eleven within concept (S. calidasp. nov., coprosmae...
Cerrenaceae is a small family of polypores and hydnoid fungi in the order Polyporales ( Basidiomycota ). The consists white-rot fungi, some which are serious tree pathogens. Combining morphological evidence with phylogenetic dataset six genetic markers, we revise generic concepts propose seven-genus classification system for family. Two genera introduced as new: monotypic Acanthodontia Radulodon cirrhatinus , Lividopora Rigidoporus vinctus complex. We re-introduce name Somion Spongipellis...
Overlooking the importance of insect disease can have disastrous effects on conservation. This study reported microfungi that infect Pteroptyx bearni eggs and larvae during ex-situ rearing project. Two different species infected firefly’s immature life stages were isolated identified. Penicillium citrinum while Trichoderma harzianum firefly larval stage. Both caused absolute mortality once infection was observed; out 244 individual collected, 75 (32.5%) by citrinum. All 13 hatched from...
Auricularia cornea, or wood ear mushroom (WEM), is an edible macrofungus that popular as a delicacy and for various biological activities. This study aims to determine the nutrient composition, in vitro antioxidant activities effect on postprandial blood glucose human subjects after consuming instant noodles incorporated with 5% WEM powder. The proximate composition of powder was 9.76% moisture, 2.40% ash, 7.52% protein, 0.15% fat, 37.96% crude fibre, 42.21% carbohydrate, total dietary fibre...
This study aimed to compare the nutritional composition and metabolites profiles of Pleurotus ostreatus oyster mushroom grown on oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) rubber wood sawdust (RWS) substrates. The mushrooms were prepared for proximate analysis, beta-glucan content, profiling using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time flights mass spectrometer (UHPLC-QToF). Proximate analysis showed significantly higher crude protein, contents (p < 0.05) recovered from EFB...
The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus species) is a popular and widely cultivated edible that can be found worldwide, including in Malaysia. However, its local production unable to fulfil the market demand, partly due limited availability of rubber wood sawdust (RWS) as conventional cultivation substrate. Furthermore, palm oil industry Malaysia generates large volumes organic by-products have caused environmental concerns. Therefore, potential utilisation waste-based substrates order develop...
The island of Borneo is a global biodiversity hotspot. However, its limestone caves are one least-studied ecosystems. We report for the first time fungal species richness, diversity and abundance from Madai cave, situated in north-eastern Borneo. Environmental samples inside cave environment were collected (guano, speleothem, cavern water) via opportunistic sampling. dilution method was performed isolation fungi. Morphological characterisation molecular analysis ITS region utilised...
The earliest publication related to mushroom poisoning dates back 1837. To date, bibliometric analysis the field of has not been published. This study aimed assess most significant publications in this as well associated trends and important drivers research poisoning. Scopus database was screened identify relevant on A total 985 with a minimum five citations were identified analyzed. Pearson's correlation demonstrated an insignificant weak negative (Pearson's -0.020, P > 0.01) between...
