22 Yield Performance of Pleurotus Pulmonarius (Fries.) World Rural Observations 2013;5(1) http://www.sciencepub.net/rural Yield performance of Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fries.) quelet, cultivated on different agro-forest wastes in Nigeria Jonathan SG1, Nwokolo VM1, Ekpo EN2 Mycology & Biotechnology unit, 1Department of Botany & Microbiology, University of Ibadan, Ibadan. Nigeria. 2Pathology Unit, Department of Forest Conservation & Protection. Forest Research Institute, Ibadan. Nigeria [email protected] Abstract: Yield performance of Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fries.) quelet, were monitored on four agro-industrial wastes, (coir fibre, oil palm waste, sawdust of Gmelina arborea and rice straw). The most abundant mineral element in P. pulmonarius was K (30.20mg/100g).This was obtained on rice straw at 10% concentration; while the least mineral element was Cu (0.006mg/100g). The highest values of Ca and Mg obtained were 3.90 and 2.67mg/100g respectively on sawdust and palm wastes. The values of Fe obtained, varies from 0.007 to 0.12mg/g at 10% and 40% of coir fibre. Manganese has values varying from 0.03mg/g for P. pulmonarius at 0% and 0.09mg/g at 40% RBL rice straw. Highest mean stipe length (6.68±0.49) was found in P. pulmonarius produced from rice straw while the least mean stipe length (4.08±2.16) was found on oil palm waste. The highest pileus diameter (7.08cm) was found on rice straw while the mean height obtained from the four substrates, were relatively close with values varying between 6.0 and 9.3cm. Rice straw produced the highest yield with total mean weight of 93.33±3.The implications of these observations are discussed. [Jonathan SG, Nwokolo VM, Ekpo EN.

AMB Expr (2019) 9:184 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-019-0907-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Optimization of agro-residues as substrates for Pleurotus pulmonarius production Nan Wu1†, Fenghua Tian1†, Odeshnee Moodley1, Bing Song1, Chuanwen Jia1, Jianqiang Ye2, Ruina Lv1, Zhi Qin3 and Changtian Li1* Abstract The “replacing wood by grass” project can partially resolve the confict between mushroom production and balancing the ecosystem, while promoting agricultural economic sustainability. Pleurotus pulmonarius is an economically impor- tant edible and medicinal mushroom, which is traditionally produced using a substrate consisting of sawdust and cottonseed hulls, supplemented with wheat bran. A simplex lattice design was applied to systemically optimize the cultivation of P. pulmonarius using agro-residues as the main substrate to replace sawdust and cottonseed hulls. The efects of difering amounts of wheat straw, corn straw, and soybean straw on the variables of yield, mycelial growth rate, stipe length, pileus length, pileus width, and time to harvest were demonstrated. Results indicated that a mix of wheat straw, corn straw, and soybean straw may have signifcantly positive efects on each of these variables. The high yield comprehensive formula was then optimized to include 40.4% wheat straw, 20.3% corn straw, 18.3% soybean straw, combined with 20.0% wheat bran, and 1.0% light CaCO3 (C/N 42.50). The biological efciency was 15.2% greater than that of the control. Most encouraging was the indication= that the high yield comprehensive formula may shorten the time to reach the reproductive stage by 6 days, compared with the control.

The genus Pleurotus is a cosmopolitan group of mushrooms with high nutritional value and therapeutic properties, besides a wide array of biotechnological and environmental applications. Scope and approach: The present report aims to provide a critical review on aspects related to chemical compounds isolated from the genus Pleurotus with possible biotechnological, nutritional and therapeutic uses. Investigations on the genus have immensely accelerated during the last ten years, so that only reports published after 2005 have been considered. Key findings and conclusions: The most important Pleurotus species cultivated in large scale are P. ostreatus and P. pulmonarius. However, more than 200 species have already been investigated to various degrees. Both basidiomata and mycelia of Pleurotus are a great renewable and easily accessible source of functional foods/nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti- inflammatory, antitumor and immunomodulatory effects.

In this study, we ex- amined their expression profiles in different fungal strains under different culture conditions (submerged and solid cultures) Downloaded from and in the presence of a wheat straw extract, which was used as an inducer of the laccase gene family. We used a reverse tran- scription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR)-based approach and focused on determining the reaction parameters (in particular, the reference gene set for the normalization and reaction efficiency determinations) used to achieve an accurate estimation of the relative gene expression values. The results suggested that (i) laccase gene transcription is upregulated in the induced submerged fermentation (iSmF) cultures but downregulated in the solid fermentation (SSF) cultures, (ii) the Lacc2 and Lacc10 genes are the main sources of laccase activity in the iSmF cultures upon induction with water-soluble wheat straw extracts, and (iii) an addi- tional, as-yet-uncharacterized activity (Unk1) is specifically induced in SSF cultures that complements the activity of Lacc2 and Lacc10.

Iwona Golak-Siwulska, Alina Kałużewicz*, Tomasz Spiżewski, Marek Siwulski, Krzysztof Sobieralski Department of Vegetable Crops Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Poznań University of Life Sciences Dąbrowskiego 159, Poznań, Poland ABSTRACT There are about 40 species in the Pleurotus genus, including those with high economic significance, i.e. P. ostreatus and P. pulmonarius. The fruiting bodies of oyster mushrooms are of high nutritional and health- promoting value. In addition, many species belonging to the Pleurotus genus have been used as sources of substances with documented medicinal properties, such as high-molecular weight bioactive compounds (polysaccharides, peptides and proteins) and low-molecular weight compounds (terpenoids, fatty acid esters and polyphenols). The bioactive substances contained in the mycelium and fruiting bodies of Pleurotus species exhibit immunostimulatory, anti-neoplastic, anti-diabetic, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-oxidative properties. Their multidirectional positive influence on the human organism is the result of interaction of bioactive substances. Extracts from individual Pleurotus species can be used for the production of dietary supplements increasing the organism’s immunity.

Gaertn and Ficus Mucuso welw (Softwoods) Sobowale AA*, Atoyebi FT and Adenipekun CO Department of Botany, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract Objective: Nigeria is faced with one of the most pressing environmental challenge which is the large production of sawdust waste of which Ceiba pentandra and Ficus mucuso are among the major contributors. This work seeks to harness waste through mushroom cultivation thereby reducing environmental hazards usually caused by improper disposal and burning. Softwood sawdust of Ceiba pentandra and Ficus mucuso was evaluated for their effects on the production of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus pulmonarius. Similarly, probable relationship among the fungal incidence of the substrates (sawdust) and that of mushrooms were examined. Methods: The treatments used were replicated three times in a completely randomized design. The fruiting bodies were harvested and growth parameters, total yield and biological efficiency (BE) of the mushroom were recorded while their nutritional analysis was carried out. Resident fungi in the sawdust and mushrooms were isolated and identified after obtaining pure cultures. The data obtained were subjected to analysis. Results: Ceiba pentandra and Ficus mucuso sawdust (substrates) supported the growth of the two mushrooms.

The regulatory mechanisms of fruiting body formation and the response to heat stress in P. ostreatus are main research focuses. The Zn(II)2Cys6 family is one of the largest families of transcriptional factors and plays important roles in multiple biological processes in fungi. In this study, we identified 66 zinc cluster proteins in P. ostreatus (PoZCPs) through a genome-wide search. The PoZCPs were classified into 15 types according to their zinc cluster domain. Physical and chemical property analyses showed a huge diversity among the PoZCPs. Phylogenetic analysis of PoZCPs classified these proteins into six groups and conserved motif combinations and similar gene structures were observed in each group. The expression profiles of these PoZCP genes during different developmental stages and under heat stress were further investigated by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), revealing diverse expression patterns.

Flour was produced from untreated and treated (sodium metabisulphite) Pleurotus mushrooms (P. pulmonarius and P. cintrinopileatus) and analyzed for proximate and functional properties. Spread was prepared from the mushroom flour using different quantities of gum arabic (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%) and compared with spread from corn flour as control. Spreads were evaluated for physicochemical and sensory properties. Proximate composition of the mushroom flour showed that treatment with sodium metabisulphite reduced moisture and ash content while protein, fat, fibre and carbohydrate increased. Functional properties showed that treatment had a significant difference (p<0.05) in the bulk density and oil absorption capacity of the mushroom flours, while physicochemical properties of the spread showed that melting point value ranged between (22-29oC), Iodine value (30.41-33.70gI2) and pH (5.75-6.35). Sensory analysis results showed that the spreads from P. cintrinopileatus were acceptable to the panelist at all levels of gum arabic inclusion while spread from P.
