[PMID: 38919599 PMCID: PMC11196847 DOI: 10.3389/ffunb.2024.1414349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
Mushrooms are widely available around the world and have various nutritional as well as therapeutic values. Many Asian cultures believe that medicinal mushrooms can prolong life and improve vitality. This study aims to characterize the phytochemical and polysaccharide content, mainly β-glucan content, of mycelial biomass and fruiting bodies collected from the Himalayan region, particularly Uttarakhand. Through molecular analysis of the LSU F/R-rDNA fragment sequence and phylogenetic analysis, the strain was identified as Trametes sp. We performed screening of phytochemicals and polysaccharides in mushroom and biomass extracts using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a PC-based UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The macrofungal biomass was found to be high in saponin, anthraquinone, total phenolic, flavonoid, and β-glucan content. In biomass extract, we observed a high level of saponin (70.6µg/mL), anthraquinone (14.5µg/mL), total phenolic (12.45 µg/mL), and flavonoid (9.500 µg/mL) content. Furthermore, we examined the contents of alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids, and sterols in the biomass and mushroom extracts; the concentration of these compounds in the ethanol extract tested was minimal. We also looked for antioxidant activity, which is determined in terms of the IC50 value. Trametes sp. mushroom extract exhibits higher DPPH radical scavenging activity (62.9% at 0.5 mg/mL) than biomass extract (59.19% at 0.5 mg/mL). We also analyzed β-glucan in Trametes sp. from both mushroom and biomass extracts. The biomass extract showed a higher β-glucan content of 1.713 mg/mL than the mushroom extract, which is 1.671 mg/mL. Furthermore, β-glucan analysis was confirmed by the Megazyme β-glucan assay kit from both biomass and mushroom extract of Trametes sp. β-glucans have a promising future in cancer treatment as adjuncts to conventional medicines. Producing pure β-glucans for the market is challenging because 90-95% of β glucan sold nowadays is thought to be manipulated or counterfeit. The present study supports the recommendation of Trametes sp. as rich in β-glucan, protein, phytochemicals, and antioxidant activities that help individuals with cancer, diabetes, obesity, etc.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:4234-4241. [PMID: 38294266 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Carboxymethylpachymaran (CMP) is created by carboxymethylating pachyman (PM), which increases its water solubility and enhances a number of biological activities. Traditional polysaccharides modified by carboxymethylation employ strong chemical techniques. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) has been used previously for liquid fermentation to carboxymethyl modify bacterial polysaccharides. This theory can be applied to fungal polysaccharides because Poria cocos has the ability to naturally utilize cellulose. RESULTS CMC with different degrees of substitution (DS) (0.7, 0.9 and 1.2) were added to P. cocos fermentation medium, and CMPs with different DS (0.38, 0.56 and 0.78, respectively) were prepared by liquid fermentation. The physical and chemical properties and biological activities of the CMPs were determined. Their structures were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and monosaccharide composition. With the increase of DS, the viscosity and viscosity-average molecular weight of CMPs decreased, whereas polysaccharide content and water solubility increased, although the triple helix structure was not affected. The results of bioactivity assay showed that the higher the DS of CMPs, the higher the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging ability, and the stronger the bacterial inhibition ability. CONCLUSION The present study has developed a method for producing CMPs by P. cocos liquid fermentation. The results of the study confirm that enhancing the DS of CMP could effectively enhance its potential biological activity. The findings provide safe and reliable raw materials for creating CMP-related foods and encourage CMP application in the functional food industry. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Increasing the production of the bioactive compounds in medicinal mushrooms: an omics perspective. Microb Cell Fact 2023; 22:11. [PMID: 36647087 PMCID: PMC9841694 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-022-02013-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Macroscopic fungi, mainly higher basidiomycetes and some ascomycetes, are considered medicinal mushrooms and have long been used in different areas due to their pharmaceutically/nutritionally valuable bioactive compounds. However, the low production of these bioactive metabolites considerably limits the utilization of medicinal mushrooms both in commerce and clinical trials. As a result, many attempts, ranging from conventional methods to novel approaches, have been made to improve their production. The novel strategies include conducting omics investigations, constructing genome-scale metabolic models, and metabolic engineering. So far, genomics and the combined use of different omics studies are the most utilized omics analyses in medicinal mushroom research (both with 31% contribution), while metabolomics (with 4% contribution) is the least. This article is the first attempt for reviewing omics investigations in medicinal mushrooms with the ultimate aim of bioactive compound overproduction. In this regard, the role of these studies and systems biology in elucidating biosynthetic pathways of bioactive compounds and their contribution to metabolic engineering will be highlighted. Also, limitations of omics investigations and strategies for overcoming them will be provided in order to facilitate the overproduction of valuable bioactive metabolites in these valuable organisms.

Whole-Genome Sequencing and Transcriptome Analysis of Ganoderma lucidum Strain Yw-1-5 Provides New Insights into the Enhanced Effect of Tween80 on Exopolysaccharide Production. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8101081. [PMID: 36294646 PMCID: PMC9605614 DOI: 10.3390/jof8101081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Ganoderma lucidum is an important medicinal mushroom widely cultured in Asian countries. Exopolysaccharides are bioactive compounds of G. lucidum with health benefits. Limited exopolysaccharide content hinders its extraction from G. lucidum. The addition of Tween80 had an enhanced effect on G. lucidum exopolysaccharide production in submerged fermentation. However, the mechanism of this effect remains unclear. In this study, we report on a high-quality assembly of G. lucidum strain yw-1-5 to lay the foundation for further transcriptome analysis. The genome sequence was 58.16 Mb and consisted of 58 scaffolds with an N50 of 4.78 Mb. A total of 13,957 protein-coding genes were annotated and Hi-C data mapped to 12 pseudo-chromosomes. Genes encoding glycosyltransferases and glycoside hydrolases were also obtained. Furthermore, RNA-seq was performed in a Tween80-treated group and control group for revealing the enhanced effect of Tween80 on exopolysaccharide production. In total, 655 genes were identified as differentially expressed, including 341 up-regulated and 314 down-regulated. Further analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that groups of MAPK, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, autophagy, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, peroxisome, starch and sucrose metabolism, TCA cycle, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis KEGG pathway, glycosyltransferases and glycoside hydrolases played important roles in the enhanced effect of Tween80 on exopolysaccharide production. This work provides a valuable resource for facilitating our understanding of the synthesis of polysaccharides and accelerating the breeding of new strains with a high content of exopolysaccharides.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to characterize the bioactivity of mycelial biomass and crude exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Trametes versicolor NBIMCC 8939 and to reveal its nutraceutical potential. The EPS (1.58 g/L) were isolated from a culture broth. The macrofungal biomass was rich in protein, insoluble dietary fibers and glucans. The amino acid composition of the biomass was analyzed and 18 amino acids were detected. Three mycelial biomass extracts were prepared and the highest total polyphenol content (16.11 ± 0.14 mg GAE/g DW) and the total flavonoid content (5.15 ± 0.03 mg QE/g DW) were found in the water extract. The results indicated that the obtained EPS were heteropolysaccharides with glucose as the main building monosaccharide and minor amounts of mannose, xylose, galactose, fucose and glucuronic acid. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the complex structure of the crude EPS. Five probiotic lactic acid bacteria strains were used for the determination of the prebiotic effect of the crude EPS. The anti-inflammatory potential was tested in vitro using cell line HT-29. The significant decrease of IL-1 and IL-8 and increase of TGF-beta expression revealed anti-inflammatory potential of the crude exopolysaccharides from T. versicolor.

Enhancement of exopolysaccharide production from Ganoderma lucidum using a novel submerged volatile co-culture system. Fungal Biol 2020; 125:25-31. [PMID: 33317773 DOI: 10.1016/j.funbio.2020.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Based on the impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on secondary metabolite pathways, a novel submerged volatile co-culture system was constructed, and the effects of thirteen fungal and bacterial VOCs were investigated on Ganoderma lucidum exopolysaccharides production. The results demonstrated at least a 2.2-fold increase in exopolysaccharide (EPS) specific production yield in 6 days submerged volatile co-culture of G. lucidum with Pleurotus ostreatus. Therefore, P. ostreatus was selected as a variable culture, and the effects of agitation speed, inoculum size, initial pH, and co-culture volume on EPSs production were investigated using a Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Finally, the highest concentration of EPSs (3.35 ± 0.22 g L-1) was obtained under optimized conditions; initial pH 5.0, inoculum size 10%, 150 rpm, and 3:1 volume ratio of variable culture to main culture.

Abstract
To facilitate Ganoderma lucidum submerged cultivation and achieve high productivity, four fine powder solid substrates incorporated with different nitrogen-rich supplements were utilized to grow the fungus and as solid seed for its submerged culture. Of the four solid seeds, the soybean meal solid seed gave the highest biomass (10.73 g/L) and exopolysaccharide (EPS) (1.22 g/L), higher than those (8.36 g/L biomass and 0.44 g/L EPS) obtained with mycelial liquid seed. The optimal level of soybean meal supplementation was 20% (w/w) for production of the solid seed. Following single factor experiments, levels of three selected process variables were optimized as: the moisture content of solid seed, 70%; inoculum size, 0.8 g/flask; and rotary speed, 160 rpm. These conditions were validated experimentally with improved EPS yield of 1.33 g/L. The developed solid seed can be conveniently used for G. lucidum submerged culture with improved EPS productivity.
