Composition and Biological Activity of Submerged Mycelium of the Xylotrophic Basidiomycete Lentinus edodes

The composition of submerged mycelium of Lentinus edodesgrown in laboratory fermenters was studied. The mycelium contained 23-24% proteins, 8-9% lipids, up to 1.8% phenolic substances, and a significant amount of inorganic substances, including calcium and iron. The fungus produced up to 5.0% intrac...

Description
Summary:	The composition of submerged mycelium of Lentinus edodesgrown in laboratory fermenters was studied. The mycelium contained 23-24% proteins, 8-9% lipids, up to 1.8% phenolic substances, and a significant amount of inorganic substances, including calcium and iron. The fungus produced up to 5.0% intracellular and 3.5-4.0 g/l extracellular polysaccharides. The submerged mycelium stimulated the development of humoral immune response elicited by sheep red blood cells.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
