Journal ArticleDOI
The pharmacological potential of mushrooms.
TL;DR: This review describes pharmacologically active compounds from mushrooms with antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, antiallergic, immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory, antiatherogenic, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective and central activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotechnological applications and potential of wood-degrading mushrooms of the genus Pleurotus.
TL;DR: This Mini-Review describes the properties of Pleurotus spp in relation to their biotechnological applications and potential and the use of their ligninolytic enzymes for the biodegradation of organopollutants, xenobiotics and industrial contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-tumor and immunomodulating effects of Pleurotus ostreatus mycelia-derived proteoglycans.
TL;DR: The three neutral proteoglycans derived from the mushroom (P. ostreatus) mycelia could be used as immunomodulators and anti cancer agents, and showed the presence of large number of terminal sugar with glucose/mannose.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nutritional and health benefits of mushrooms
TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo studies with mushrooms and isolated bioactive constituents have purported many pharmacological effects such as anti-tumour, antioxidant, antiviral, hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycaemic effects.
Journal Article

Maturation of the head of bacteriophage T4. I. DNA packaging events.

TL;DR: Pulse-chase experiments in wild-type and mutant phage-infected cells provide evidence that the following particles called prohead I, II and III are successive precursors to the mature heads as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturation of the head of bacteriophage T4. II. Head-related, aberrant tau-particles.
TL;DR: Temperature shift-down experiments, using several different phage carrying temperature-sensitive mutations in gene 21 , indicate that the bulk of the τ-particles cannot be used for normal phage production and strongly suggest that cleavage of the head proteins is required for DNA packaging to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
A chitin-binding lectin from stinging nettle rhizomes with antifungal properties.
TL;DR: The nettle lectin may be a promising candidate for possible applications in the genetic engineering of disease-resistant crops and synergistically with chitinase in inhibiting fungal growth.
