RESUMEN
This study aims to explore the resource utilization of used fungus-growing materials produced in the cultivation of Gastrodia elata. To be specific, based on the production practice, this study investigated the recycling mechanism of used fungus-growing materials of G. elata by Phallus inpudicus. To screen edible fungi with wide adaptability, this study examined the allelopathic effects of Armillaria mellea secretions on P. impudicus and 6 kinds of large edible fungi and the activities of enzymes related to degradation of the used fungus-growing materials of G. elata. The results showed that P. impudicus can effectively degrade cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in used fungus-growing materials of G. elata. The cellulase activity of A. mellea was significantly higher than that of P. impudicus, and the activities of lignin peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and xylanase of P. impudicus were significantly higher than those of A. mellea, which was the important reason why A. mellea and P. impudicus used different parts and components of the used fungus-growing materials to absorb carbon sources and develop ecological niche differences. The growth of P. impudicus was significantly inhibited on the used fungus-growing materials of G. elata. The secretions of A. mellea had allelopathic effects on P. impudicus and other edible fungi, and the allelopathic effects were related to the concentration of allelopathy substances. The screening result showed that the growth and development of L. edodes and A. auricular were not significantly affected by 30% of A. mellea liquid, indicating that they had high resistance to the allelopathy of A. mellea. The results showed that the activities of extracellular lignin peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and xylanase of the two edible fungi were similar to those of P. impudicus, and the cellulase activity was higher than that of P. impudicus. This experiment can be further verified by small-scale production tests.

Objective In this study, Armillaria mellea and Zhaotong Gastrodia elata vegetative stems were used as the experimental material to reveal the symbiosis molecular mechanism of A. mellea infecting G. elata through comparative transcriptome sequencing analysis. Methods Trizor reason (invitrogen) was used to extract RNA from vegetative propagation stem samples, and the sequencing library was established and sequenced. Results The results showed that 38 838 sequences were annotated when G. elata symbiosis with A. mellea. Under false discovery rate (FDR) 1 screening conditions, there were significant differences in expression levels among the 23 333 genes, in which 1 595 genes up-regulated and 21 738 down-regulated expression. Based on the transcriptome analysis, unigenes associated with the extracellular enzyme gene cellulase, xylanase, laccase, and polygalacturonase genes were 21, 6, 39, and 6 genes, respectively, in which the number of corresponding differentially expressed genes were 9, 3, 23, and 4, respectively. The expression of all these unigenes were down-regulated except for one cellulase genes. The number of unigenes related to anti-oxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase were 13, 7, and 17, respectively. The differentially expressed genes respectively were 6, 7, and 7, all of which were down-regulated. In addition, these genes were selectively confirmed by real-time PCR. Conclusion The life activites of A. mellea which infect and symbiosis with G. elata declined, meanwhile G. elata did not produce biological stress for A. mellea. This study provides a lot of valuable genetic resources for further studying the symbiosis molecular mechanism of A. mellea and G. elata.
RESUMEN
Medicinal Polyporus umbellatus is the dry sclerotia of P. umbellatus, with the effect of diuresis; Armillaria mellea is a parasitic fungus which can infect plants up to 300 genera, with sedative, anticonvulsant and some other biological activities. As the medicinal value of P. umbellatus and A. mellea is increasingly wide concerned, the market quantity demanded of them is gradually increased and the demand outstrips the supply. The symbiotic A. mellea and P. umbellatus are both the medicinal and edible fungi with diverse activities, including hypoglycemic action, improve immunity and antitumor and so on. The growth of the sclerotia forming from the mycelium of P. umbellatus is related to the infection of the symbiotic A. mellea and their secondary products. In this study, by comparing the chemical constituents of the mycelium and sclerotia of P. umbellatus and A. mellea, we found that they all produced steroids and nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The sclerotia of P. umbellatus and A. mellea also produced triterpenes secondary metabolites. In addition, the mycelium and infected sclerotia of P. umbellatus mainly produced different steroids, and the sclerotia produced some other special secondary metabolites, such as long-chain fatty acids, ceramides, phenol and so on. By analyzing above all kinds of differences, speculated that these may be caused by the infection of the symbiotic A. mellea which mainly produced sesquiterpenes, diterpenes and other secondary metabolites. The contents and types of compounds of P. umbellatus and A. mellea are closely related to their symbiosis and reproduction, therefore, many symbiosis mechanisms should be found by utilizing more molecular biology technology to elucidate this complex symbiotic infection and provide scientific basis for improving the yield and quality of P. umbellatus and A. mellea.
RESUMEN
Armillaria mellea is a kind of medicinal and edible fungus belonging to Tricholomataceae family. It possesses comprehensive biological activities, such as hypnotic, sedative, improving cardiocerebral blood circulation, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, and immune regulation. Besides, it can inhibit tumor. A. mellea contains characteristic chemical constituents, such as, protoilludane sesquiterpenoid aromatic esters, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, polysaccharides, adenosine, and various types of secondary metabolites. This paper summarizes the chemical composition and biological activity of A. mellea to provide the reference for developing and utilizing it.
RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the anti-aging mechanism of polysaccharide from rhizomorph of Armillaria mellea (AMP) in Caenorhabditis elegans. Methods: With C. elegans as living model, the life span and the average number of offsprings were determined under normal culture conditions; The survival rate under oxidative stress and the expression of heat shock protein-16.2 (HSP-16.2) and superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD-3) were determined. Results: Under the normal culture conditions, the life span of C. elegans was significantly extended by AMP-1 and AMP-2 without the damage of the reproductive capacity; The expression of HSP-16.2 and SOD-3 was increased in C. elegans under the oxidative stress. Conclusion: The possible mechanism of AMP for anti-aging of C. elegans may be caused by increasing of the capacity of stress resistance.
RESUMEN
To produce an artificial fruiting body of Armillaria mellea on the oak sawdust medium, seven strains of A. mellea were used. The top surface of oak sawdust medium covered with ground raw carrot was inoculated with each of 7 strains and cultured for 30 days at 25degrees C in the dark condition until the mycelia of A. mellea completely colonized the medium from top to bottom. Then, the mycelia which were fully covered on the top surface of the medium were scratched slightly with a spatula and filled with tap water for 3 hours. To induce the primordial formation, the 7 strains of A. mellea were transferred to the growth chamber under the illumination (350 lux) of 12 hours and relative humidity of 85 +/- 5% in a day and then cultured at 16 +/- 1degrees C. Only A. mellea IUM 949 could form primordia on the sawdust medium, but the other strains did not make primordia at the same condition. The primordia of A. mellea IUM 949 were formed 10 days after complete colonization of the medium and the fruiting bodies were produced 7 days after a primordial formation. The experimental results suggested that IUM 949 strain might be a good candidate for mass production of fruiting bodies of A. mellea.
