Due to the immense range of habitats that fungi inhabit, and the consequent need to compete against a diverse array of other fungi, bacteria, and animals, fungi have developed numerous survival mechanisms. The unique attributes of fungi thus herald great promise for their application in biotechnology and industry. Moreover, fungi can be grown with relative ease, making production at scale viable. The search for fungal biodiversity, and the construction of a living fungi collection, both have incredible economic potential in locating organisms with novel industrial uses that will lead to novel products. This manuscript reviews fifty ways in which fungi can potentially be utilized as biotechnology. We provide notes and examples for each potential exploitation and give examples from our own work and the work of other notable researchers. We also provide a flow chart that can be used to convince funding bodies of the importance of fungi for biotechnological research and as potential products. Fungi have provided the world with penicillin, lovastatin, and other globally significant medicines, and they remain an untapped resource with enormous industrial potential.

Members of the genus Aspergillus are highly opportunistic growing easily on carbon rich substrates with monosaccharide and polysaccharides throughout the year. The present study evaluates the diversity of Aspergillus present in the Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University Campus. A total of 14 different species of Aspergillus were isolated from the sampling area from the three different medium viz. Air, soil and leaf litter. Aspergillus niger was found to be the dominant one among others. The growth response of the isolated species of Aspergillus was tested over three different media viz. PDA, CzA and MEA. Keywords: Aspergillus, Air, Soil, Leaf litter. I. INTRODUCTION Aspergillus is a cosmopolitan fungus whose spore are present in the air whose characteristics are of high pathological, agricultural, industrial, pharmaceutical, scientific and cultural importance and play important role in the degradation of organic substrate, particularly plant material [1, 2, 3]. Aspergillus are not only very well known fungus in the world of mycology but also known for their ability to secret a variety of biologically active chemical compounds including antibiotics, mycotoxins, immunosuppressant and cholesterol lowering agents [2].

The chemical, bioactive, and antioxidant potential of twenty wild culinary mushroom species being consumed by the peopleof northern Himalayan regions has been evaluated for the first time in the present study. Nutrients analyzed include protein, crude fat, fibres, carbohydrates, and monosaccharides. Besides, preliminary study on the detection of toxic compounds was done on these species. Bioactive compounds evaluated are fatty acids, amino acids, tocopherol content, carotenoids (-carotene, lycopene), flavonoids, ascorbic acid, and anthocyanidins. Fruitbodies extract of all the species was tested for different types of antioxidant assays. Although differences were observed in the net values of individual species all the species were found to be rich in protein, and carbohydrates and low in fat. Glucose was found to be the major monosaccharide. Predominance of UFA (65–70%) over SFA (30–35%) was observed in all the species with considerable amounts of other bioactive compounds.

    Antioxidant Properties of Antrodia Cinnamomea: an Extremely Rare 6 and Coveted Medicinal Mushroom Endemic to Taiwan

    Antioxidant Properties of Antrodia cinnamomea: An Extremely Rare 6 and Coveted Medicinal Mushroom Endemic to Taiwan K.J. Senthil Kumar and Sheng-Yang Wang Abstract Antrodia cinnamomea is an extremely rare and endemic fungal species native to forested regions of Taiwan. In modern Taiwanese culture, A. cinnamomea is believed to be a valuable gift from the heaven. Thereby, it is claimed as the “National Treasure of Taiwan” and “Ruby” among mushrooms.” Traditionally, A. cinnamomea was used to prepare Chinese medicine for treating various illness including liver diseases, food and drug intoxication, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypertension, itchy skin, and tumorigenic diseases. Recent scientific studies strongly support that the pharmacological activities of A. cinnamomea go far beyond the original usage, as A. cinnamomea has exhibited various pharmaco- logical properties including anticancer, antioxidant, hepatoprotection, antihyper- tensive, antihyperlipidemic, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties. Till date, more than 400 scientific reports have been published on the therapeutic potential of A. cinnamomea, or its closely related species Antrodia salmonea, and their compounds. In the present review, the taxonomic description of A. cinnamomea, ethnomedical value, chemical constituents, and pharmaco- logical effects particularly antioxidant and Nrf2-mediated cytoprotective effects will be discussed.

The screening of L-glutaminase producing isolates carried out by using modified Czapek Dox’s agar plate. Out of twenty one isolates the strain Aspergillus wintii KGSD4 were showed high and potential L-glutaminase producer. It showed maximum 1.3cm zone of diameter. Then the rapid confirmation of L-glutaminase producing Aspergillus wintii KGSD4 were carried out by thin layer chromatography and the Rf Values were determined. The Rf value is 0.265.This Rf were close to that of standard glutamic acid. Key words: L-glutaminase, plate assay, Aspergillus wentii, thin layer chromatography. INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS L-Glutaminase has received significant CHEMICALS: attention recently owing to its potential applications in L-glutamine used in the study was procured medicine as an anticancer agent and in food industries from Hi-Media Laboratories, Bombay, India; the other 1, 2. Microbial glutaminases have found applications in ingredients used for the preparation of Czapek Dox’s several fields. They had been tried as therapeutic media were also products of Hi-Media Laboratories, agents in the treatment of cancer 3,4 and HIV5 as an Bombay.

    A Preliminary Checklist of Arizona Macrofungi

    A PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST OF ARIZONA MACROFUNGI Scott T. Bates School of Life Sciences Arizona State University PO Box 874601 Tempe, AZ 85287-4601 ABSTRACT A checklist of 1290 species of nonlichenized ascomycetaceous, basidiomycetaceous, and zygomycetaceous macrofungi is presented for the state of Arizona. The checklist was compiled from records of Arizona fungi in scientific publications or herbarium databases. Additional records were obtained from a physical search of herbarium specimens in the University of Arizona’s Robert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium and of the author’s personal herbarium. This publication represents the first comprehensive checklist of macrofungi for Arizona. In all probability, the checklist is far from complete as new species await discovery and some of the species listed are in need of taxonomic revision. The data presented here serve as a baseline for future studies related to fungal biodiversity in Arizona and can contribute to state or national inventories of biota. INTRODUCTION Arizona is a state noted for the diversity of its biotic communities (Brown 1994). Boreal forests found at high altitudes, the ‘Sky Islands’ prevalent in the southern parts of the state, and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa P.& C. Lawson) forests that are widespread in Arizona, all provide rich habitats that sustain numerous species of macrofungi. Even xeric biomes, such as desertscrub and semidesert- grasslands, support a unique mycota, which include rare species such as Itajahya galericulata A. Møller (Long & Stouffer 1943b, Fig. 2c). Although checklists for some groups of fungi present in the state have been published previously (e.g., Gilbertson & Budington 1970, Gilbertson et al. 1974, Gilbertson & Bigelow 1998, Fogel & States 2002), this checklist represents the first comprehensive listing of all macrofungi in the kingdom Eumycota (Fungi) that are known from Arizona.
