TLDR
The antifungal activity of cysteine (2-amino-3-mercaptopropionic acid) on mycelial growth and the production of lanosterol, 3,β-hydroxy-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-al, 3-β-21,dihydroxy- Lanosta- 8, 24-diene, trametenolic acid and ergosterol were investigated in solid and liquid cultures of InonAbstract:
The antifungal activity of cysteine (2-amino-3-mercaptopropionic acid) on mycelial growth and the production of lanosterol, 3,β-hydroxy-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-al, 3,β-21,dihydroxy-lanosta-8,24-diene, trametenolic acid and ergosterol were investigated in solid and liquid cultures ofInonotus obliquus at cysteine concentrations of 0.9 and 9.0 mm by means of thinlayer chromatography densitometry. Cysteine elicited the production of ergosterol in all the cultures and at a concentration of 0.9 mm distinctly elicited the production of 3,β-hydroxy-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-al. At 9.0 mm, cysteine had greater antifungal activity than at 0.9 mm, decreasing growth and the production of metabolities.read more

Anti-cancer effect and structural characterization of endo-polysaccharide from cultivated mycelia of Inonotus obliquus.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the anti-cancer effect of endo-polysaccharide is not directly tumorcidal but rather is immuno-stimulating.

TL;DR: The endo-polysaccharide appeared to have other cellular binding sites with TLR-4 and did not show a direct toxicity against tumor cells, however, indirect anti-cancer effects via immuno-stimulation were observed.

Amino acids as nitrogen sources for ectomycorrhizal fungi: Utilization of individual amino acids
R. A. Abuzinadah,David Read +1 more
TL;DR: The ability of three ecologically important ectomycorrhizal fungi to utilize each of the biologically active amino acids as sole nitrogen source was assessed, and their growth was compared with that obtained on the two mineral N sources, ammonium and nitrate.
