  • Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Community Structure in a Young Orchard of Grafted and Ungrafted Hybrid Chestnut Saplings
    Mycorrhiza (2021) 31:189–201 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00572-020-01015-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Ectomycorrhizal fungal community structure in a young orchard of grafted and ungrafted hybrid chestnut saplings Serena Santolamazza‑Carbone1,2 · Laura Iglesias‑Bernabé1 · Esteban Sinde‑Stompel3 · Pedro Pablo Gallego1,2 Received: 29 August 2020 / Accepted: 17 December 2020 / Published online: 27 January 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community of the European chestnut has been poorly investigated, and mostly by sporocarp sampling. We proposed the study of the ECM fungal community of 2-year-old chestnut hybrids Castanea × coudercii (Castanea sativa × Castanea crenata) using molecular approaches. By using the chestnut hybrid clones 111 and 125, we assessed the impact of grafting on ECM colonization rate, species diversity, and fungal community composition. The clone type did not have an impact on the studied variables; however, grafting signifcantly infuenced ECM colonization rate in clone 111. Species diversity and richness did not vary between the experimental groups. Grafted and ungrafted plants of clone 111 had a diferent ECM fungal species composition. Sequence data from ITS regions of rDNA revealed the presence of 9 orders, 15 families, 19 genera, and 27 species of ECM fungi, most of them generalist, early-stage species. Thirteen new taxa were described in association with chestnuts. The basidiomycetes Agaricales (13 taxa) and Boletales (11 taxa) represented 36% and 31%, of the total sampled ECM fungal taxa, respectively. Scleroderma citrinum, S. areolatum, and S. polyrhizum (Boletales) were found in 86% of the trees and represented 39% of total ECM root tips. The ascomycete Cenococcum geophilum (Mytilinidiales) was found in 80% of the trees but accounted only for 6% of the colonized root tips.

International Journal of Agricultural Technology 10(1):79-86. Abstract The natural products were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Scleroderma citrinum. A new lanostane-type steroids were found namely 4,4’-Dimethoxymethyl vulpinate (DMV) and 4,4’-Dimethoxyvulpinic acid (DMVA). These compounds were tested for biological activities against plant pathogens in vitro. Results showed that 4,4’-Dimethoxyvulpinic acid had more active to inhibit the tested pathogens, Phytophthora palmivora and Colletotrichum. gloeosporioides than 4,4’-Dimethoxymethyl vulpinate at all tested concentrations. The effective dose (ED50) of DMVA compound could significantly inhibit the mycelium growth of P. palmivora and C. gloeosporioides at the concentrations of 58 and 81 ug/ml, respectively. The ED50 of DMV compound for inhibition of such fungal mycelial growth was 2,114 and 5,231 ug/ml., respectively. The production of conidia of C. gloeosporioides was statistically significant inhibited by both tested compounds, with this the ED50 of DMA and DMVA compounds were 45 and 68 ug/ml., respectively.

  • Physicochemical Properties of Starches from Scleroderma Citrinum and Pleurotus Ostreatus
    The Pharmaceutical and Chemical Journal, 2018, 5(1):191-195 Available online www.tpcj.org ISSN: 2349-7092 Research Article CODEN(USA): PCJHBA Physicochemical properties of starches from Scleroderma citrinum and Pleurotus ostreatus Aniekemabasi U Israel, Basil N Ita*, Uwemobong B Akpan Department of Chemistry, University of Uyo, Uyo, Nigeria Abstract Starches isolated from Scleroderma citrinum (SC) and Pleurotus ostreatus (PO) were investigated using physical and chemical tests. Total starch content was higher in SC (89.41 %) than PO (75.00 %). Amylose content was also higher in SC (38.50 %) than PO (21.70 %), while amylopectin, moisture and ash contents were higher in PO than SC respectively. Gelatinization temperature was 70 oC for SC and 80 oC for PO. Dextrinization of the starch samples occurred between 150-180 oC and 120-150 oC for SC and PO respectively. Generally, these starches could have numerous applications in the non –food industry. Keywords Scleroderma citrinum, Pleurotus ostreatus, amylose, amylopectin, dextrin Introduction Starches extracted from different botanical origins have played important roles in the food industries. They are used as a thickener, in snacks, gravies, sauces, muffins, etc. Also, they find application in cosmetics, paper coatings, laundry and biofilms production [1]. These starches have diverse physicochemical and functional properties which are influenced by their content of amylose and amylopectin as well as the structure of the amylopectin. Properties such as paste viscosity, α- amylase digestibility, gelatinization are affected by the amylose content of starch while amylopectin affects starch gelatinization and retrogradation properties [2]. Constraints such as insolubility, retrogradation, instability of gels and paste to varying temperatures, pH and shears have restricted their industrial applications; therefore the search for starches with better functional properties becomes imperative.

  • Pigments of Higher Fungi: a Review
    Czech J. Food Sci. Vol. 29, 2011, No. 2: 87–102 Pigments of Higher Fungi: A Review Jan VELÍŠEK and Karel CEJPEK Department of Food Chemistry and Analysis, Faculty of Food and Biochemical Technology, Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract Velíšek J., Cejpek K. (2011): Pigments of higher fungi – a review. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 87–102. This review surveys the literature dealing with the structure of pigments produced by fungi of the phylum Basidiomycota and also covers their significant colourless precursors that are arranged according to their biochemical origin to the shikimate, polyketide and terpenoid derived compounds. The main groups of pigments and their leucoforms include simple benzoquinones, terphenylquinones, pulvinic acids, and derived products, anthraquinones, terpenoid quinones, benzotropolones, compounds of fatty acid origin and nitrogen-containing pigments (betalains and other alkaloids). Out of three orders proposed, the concern is only focused on the orders Agaricales and Boletales and the taxonomic groups (incertae sedis) Cantharellales, Hymenochaetales, Polyporales, Russulales, and Telephorales that cover most of the so called higher fungi often referred to as mushrooms. Included are only the European species that have generated scientific interest due to their attractive colours, taxonomic importance and distinct biological activity. Keywords: higher fungi; Basidiomycota; mushroom pigments; mushroom colour; pigment precursors Mushrooms inspired the cuisines of many cul- carotenoids and other terpenoids are widespread tures (notably Chinese, Japanese and European) only in some species of higher fungi. Many of the for centuries and many species were used in folk pigments of higher fungi are quinones or similar medicine for thousands of years.
