A1 Solioz, Marc T1 Effect of Tree Species on Enzyme Secretion by the Shiitake Medicinal Mushroom, Lentinus edodes (Agaricomycetes) JF International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms JO IJM YR 2016 FD 2016-09-12 VO 18 IS 7 SP 637 OP 644 K1 biotechnology K1 laccase K1 Lentinus edodes K1 medicinal mushrooms K1 manganese peroxidase K1 submerged cultivation K1 wood extract AB We compared cold and hot wood extracts of 3 endemic Siberian trees−namely, Prunus padus (bird cherry), Populus tremula (aspen), and Betula sp. (birch)−on biomass production and laccase and peroxidase secretion in submerged cultures by the medicinal mushroom Lentinus edodes. Of the conditions tested, only hot Prunus extracts stimulated biomass production, whereas all extracts stimulated laccase and peroxidase secretion, albeit to different extents. A large, differential stimulation of manganese peroxidase was observed by hot Prunus extracts. The results highlight important differences between tree species in the stimulation of biomass and enzyme production by L. edodes and point to potentially interesting stimulatory factors present in hot Prunus extracts. These findings are of relevance in the use of L. edodes for medicinal or biotechnological applications.
