{Abstract}: A water soluble polysaccharide isolated from the alkaline extract of the somatic hybrid mushroom (PfloVv5FB), obtained through protoplast fusion between Pleurotus florida and Volvariella volvacea strains was found to contain d-glucose only. Structural investigation was carried out using acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis; periodate oxidation, and NMR studies (1H, 13C, DEPT-135, TOCSY, DQF-COSY, NOESY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC). On the basis of the above mentioned experiments the structure of the repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established as: This polysaccharide exhibited strong immunoactivation of macrophages, splenocytes as well as thymocytes.   2013 Elsevier Ltd.

{Abstract}: The elimination of antinutritional factors of the Jarropha curcas L. seed cake is important for decreasing environmental damage and adding economic value to this residue of the biodiesel industry. In this study, we analyzed the ability of Pleurotus ostreatus to degrade antinutritional factors and produce edible mushrooms using different proportions of the J. curcas seed cake as substrate. After 60 d of incubation at 25 degrees C, we observed 95% phytic acid and 85% tannins reductions, and high mushrooms productivity. There was no evidence of tannins or phytic acid in these mushrooms. Furthermore, the phorbol ester concentration observed in these mushrooms was around 1000-fold lower than that found in the nontoxic variety off. curcas. Thus, P. ostreatus can degrade the antinutritional factors found in J. curcas seed cake. The jatropha seed cake can potentially be used for mushroom production, with high nutritional value, and animal ration, after treated by P. ostreatus, adding economic value to the biodiesel residue and avoiding inadequate disposal in the environment.

{Keywords}: WILD EDIBLE MUSHROOMS; HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC RATS; CHEMICAL-COMPOSITION; PLEUROTUS-OSTREATUS; Fatty acid composition; Mushroom; Gas chromatography; Middle black sea region
{Abstract}: The aim of this study was to determine the amount and composition of fatty acids in 10 edible mushroom species, which belongs to Trichomataceae, Plourotaceae, Clavariaceae, Cantharellaceae, Agaricaceae, Strophariaceae, Lepiotaceae, Russsulaceae familials grown in the middle black sea region (Tokat, Amasya, Ordu provinces). The amount and composition of fatty acids in dried mushrooms samples were detected by a gas chromatography. The fatty acids were determined using the fatty acids methyl-esters standards. Fatty acids with 9-24 carbons were found in mushrooms samples. Also, fatty acids with a single carbon and single double-bound were found. Linoleic acid (18:2 omega 6c) occurred greater than 50 % in most of the samples studied. Fatty acid analysis of the mushroom in the present study showed that unsaturated fatty acids were higher than the saturated ones.
