RT Journal Article ID 298de3b85d9f76c0 A1 Denisova, Nina P. T1 History of the Study of Thrombolytic and Fibrinolytic Enzymes of Higher Basidiomycetes Mushrooms at the V.L. Komarov Botanical Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia JF International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms JO IJM YR 2010 FD 2010-08-24 VO 12 IS 3 SP 317 OP 325 K1 Basidiomycetes K1 fruiting bodies K1 thrombolytic K1 fbrinolytic K1 milk-clotting K1 general proteolytic activities K1 list of active species K1 medicinal mushrooms AB The thrombolytic, fibrinolytic, milk-clotting, and general proteolytic activities of fruiting bodies of 400 species of Basidiomycetes belonging to various taxonomical and ecological groups were studied. A sufficient distinction between saprotrophic and symbiotrophic groups of Basidiomycetes in proteinase biosynthesis was established. It was found that the most pronounced proteolytic activity in combination with wide-range substrate specificity was characteristic for a group of saprotrophic mushrooms, whereas the symbiotrophic fungi were characterized by a low level or even complete absence of the aforementioned types of activity. The most pronounced fibrinolytic and thrombolytic activities were noted for lignotrophic saprotrophs and litter saprotrophs associated with lignin-cellulose complexes (rotten wood, compost, substrata, etc.). The list of species of Basidiomycetes that synthesize enzymes possessing high thrombolytic activity and low general proteolytic activity is presented.
