{Abstract}: Pleurotus djamor from Yucatan State, Mexico was compared with a local variety of P. ostreatus, in terms of chemical composition and amino acid profile. No differences were found (P=0.55) in crude protein content of P. djamor and P. ostreatus (20.2 +/- 0.15 vs. 20.3 +/- 0.16 g/100 g DM., respectively). P. ostreatus had a lower fiber and fat content (P&lt;0.05). No difference was found in ash content (P&gt;0.05). P. ostreatus has a higher proportion (P&lt;0.05) of valine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, aspartate and alanine while P. djamor had higher proportion (P&lt;0.05) of proline and glutamate, no difference was found in the remaining amino acids. Both species had a high proportion of aspartate and glutamate. In general, the human amino acid requirements for adults are satisfied, however, leucine and lysine might become limiting. It was concluded that P. djamor can be included in human diet in similar fashion as P. ostreatus.

{Abstract}: This study was aimed to investigate the effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on the production of bioactive total dietary fibres (TDF) and glucans (alpha- and beta-glucans) in submerged cultures of wild Ganoderma australe and commercial Pleurotus ostreatus, both of Greek origin. The contents of glucans and TDF were determined by using the respective Megazyme enzymatic kits. Glucose and yeast extract (YE) were suggested as appropriate carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, for obtaining simultaneously high production of TDF and beta-glucans by G. australe, which are compounds of great pharmacological interest, whereas maltose and YE were found favourable for high production of the above-mentioned functional components by P. ostreatus. The data obtained in this study provide useful information for further development of the studied mushroom fermentation process on a scale of the bioreactor aiming at enhanced TDF and beta-glucan production.
