ABSTRACT To seek a simple, rapid and sensitive Coprinus cinereus Peroxidase (CIP) activity assay, a convenient one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method and a response surface methodology (RSM) were used. The recombinant CIP expressed in Pichia pastoris was purified with the Ni-NTA spin column. Based on the results of catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) analysis, 2,2'-azinobis (ethylbenzthiazoline -6-sulfonate) (ABTS) was selected as the optimal enzyme substrate. Results of the OFAT method showed that enzymatic reaction performed in 0.1 mol/L sodium acetate (pH 5.0) buffer in a 200-µl reaction mixture containing 0.5 mmol/L ABTS, 10 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 49.7 ng CIP at 25°C gave an average CIP activity of 88 U/mL. The ABTS and H2O2 concentrations were then further optimized to improve the sensitivity of the assay. To do that, RSM was conducted through central composite design, and a reduced quadratic model with good fit regression equation was generated. ANOVA analysis of this model indicated that the concentrations of ABTS and H2O2 and their interaction had significant impact on the assay sensitivity. The optimal reaction mixture was determined to include an initial ABTS concentration of 0.82 mmol/L 49.7 ng CIP and 16.36 mmol/L H2O2, and the activity under this condition was determined to be 138.89 U/mL.
ABSTRACT
We compared the ways of deproteinization for crude polysaccharides of Coprinus comatus, and finally selected Sevage method as the optimal method. Two main fractions of Ccp-I-A and Ccp-I-B were obtained after DEAE-52 cellulose and Sephadex G-200 chromatography, both were white-floc, soluble in water, insoluble in absolute ethyl alcohol, acetone and other organic solvents. Additionally, Fehling reagent, CTAB, Sulphuric acid-carbazole, I-KI and FeCl₃ reaction were all negative. GC analysis showed Ccp-I-A was composed of mannitose, glucose and galactose in molar ratios of 2.03:9.52:1, whereas Ccp-I-B was composed of fucose and galactose with molar ratios of 1:5.21. Antioxidant activity test showed that Ccp-I-A and Ccp-I-B had good scavenging abilities on DPPH and ·OH. Compared to Ccp-I-B,the scavenging activity of Ccp-I-A was much stronger, and the scavenging rate could reach 72.1% and 55.3% respectively when the concentration was 300 μg/mL.
ABSTRACT
The principal objective of this study was to acquire basic data regarding the mycelial growth characteristics for the artificial cultivation of Coprinus comatus. 12 URP primers were employed to evaluate the genetic relationships of C. comatus, and the results were divided into three groups. Among six kinds of mushroom media, MYP medium was selected as the most favorable culture medium for C. comatus. The optimal temperature and pH ranges for the mycelial growth of C. comatus were 23~26degrees C and pH 6~8, respectively. The carbon and nitrogen sources for optimal mycelial growth were sucrose and tryptone, respectively.

Many proteins from mushrooms can be used as potential antiviral agents and in plant protection.An antiviral protein,designated as y3,Was isolated from fruiting bodies of the fungus Coprinus comatus by fastflow ion-exchange column chromatography coupled with high-resolution molecular sieve chromatography.This glycoprotein was detected in both fruiting body and mycelium by Western blot analysis.According to its Nterminal sequence.an amino acid sequence and a partial cDNA sequence of the y3 gene were obtained.Protein y3 at 2.0μg/ml achieved 50.0% inhibition of tobacco mosaic virus(TMV,20μg/ml)lesions in Nicotiana glutinosa leaves.It also inhibited multiplication of TMV in Nicotiana tabacum Var.K326.
ABSTRACT
Development of oidia, a type of thallic spores from monokaryotic mycelium of Coprinus cinereus was examined with electron microscope and light microscopes. Oidia formation in this fungus is unique in its mode of formation compared with other types of asexual sporogenesis. Oidiogenesis in C. cinereus is carried out in three steps: 1) Formation of oidiophore from the parent mycelium, 2) Formation of initials of oidial cells from swollen oidiophore, 3) Segmentation and detachment of mature oidial cell. Oidiophores appear to spring out singly as a swollen hyphal branches from the normal foot hyphae or sometimes coiled hypha. From the oidiophore, oidial branches sprout out forming a group of 2~6, most often 4 oidial cells and each oidial cell undergoes a single mitosis resulting in 2 oidia. One of the sibling oidial cells in a group is frequently transformed into a new oidiophore, thus oidiogenic structures are tandemly produced at the several different levels.

ABSTRACT
Coprinus comatus cultivated on cotton seed hull medium decomposed lignocellulose straggly and was high of absolute biological efficiency. Lignocellulose is the main carbon source for the fruiting stage of the fungus. There existed the positive correlation between the degradation rates of the cellulose and hemicellulose in the medium and the activities of extracellular CMCase (carboxymenthelcel lulase), FPase (filter paper cellulase) and HCase (hemicellu-lase), there also existed the positive correlation between the degradation rate of the lignin in the medium and the activity of extracellular laccase, but no correlation between the degradatio rate of the lignin in the medium and the activity of peroxidase. The activity of extracellular amylase was comparatively high at mycelial growth stage, and the protease activity peek was at teh time when the fruitbody matured.
ABSTRACT
Suitable conditions for polysaccharide production in submerged culture by Coprinus comatus Ft. CC-8810 were: glucose 40g, Soybean cake powder 30g, yeast extract powder 5.0g, bran 30g, KH_2PO_4 1.0g, MgSO_4?7H_2O 0.5g, tap water 1L, pH5—6, 28℃, 160r/min. Seed culture grown in shake flask for 4 days were inoculated into 1.5L fermentor. After 5—6 days the fermentation ended up with decreases in pH to 4.9—5.0 and in reducing sugar to 1.2%. 45.1g(dry Wt.)/L hyphae and 3.6g/L polysaccharide were obtained.
ABSTRACT
Submerged fermentation parameters for the chromium-rich mycel ia of Coprinus comatus was studied in optimal medium. According to the yield of organic Cr, the optimal fermentation parameters were obtained as follows: the amount of CrCl_3 6H_2O in medium was 200mg/L; the inoculation volume was 8%~10%; the aeration ratio was 80:250 (medium volume: flask volume); the cul tural period was 5 days at 26℃ and at 100r/min. The highest yield of organic C r in mycelia of Coprinus comatus was 1597.88?g/100mL and the enrichment ra te of Cr was about 9.09%.
