| the mutagenicity of edible mushrooms in a histidine-independent bacterial test system. | in mutagenicity screening of 40 edible mushroom species, special attention was paid to the selection of the test system, since complex mixtures such as mushroom extracts may interfere with the genetic endpoint of the assay. this paper shows that the weak mutagenicity of some mushrooms in the ames test, as reported by several authors, is actually an artefact due to the presence of free histidine in the mushroom extracts, which apparently increases the reversion of bacteria from histidine auxotrop ... | 1991 | 2032657 |

| silver content of wild-grown mushrooms from northern poland. | wild-grown and mostly edible species of higher mushrooms collected in 1989-1992 from the districts of gdańsk, elblag and piła (northern part of poland) have been investigated with regard to their silver content. in total, 527 samples including 25 mushroom species of six families (agaricaceae, boletaceae, cantharellaceae, hygrophoraceae, coprinaceae and russulaceae) were examined. among the fungi examined only agaricus campestris and a. augustus were heavy bioaccumulating species and showed the h ... | 1994 | 7975911 |
| assays of the biological activities of two fatty acid derivatives formed in the edible mushrooms cantharellus cibarius and c. tubaeformis as a response to injury. | cibaric acid (1) and 10-hydroxy-8-decenoic acid (2) are two fatty acid derivatives that are formed in the fruit bodies of cantharellus cibarius (chanterelle) and c. tubaeformis as a response to injury. unlike the potent defensive sesquiterpenes formed in injured fruit bodies of the pungent lactarius species, compounds 1 and 2 only possess very weak antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity. compound 2 was found to be a very weak direct-acting mutagen in the ames test (<1 revertant/microgram and plate ... | 1996 | 8657757 |
| human heterophile antibodies recognizing distinct carbohydrate epitopes on basidiolipids from different mushrooms. | investigating the immune properties of basidiolipids, i.e., glycoinositolphosphoceramides (gipc) of basidiomytes, higher mushrooms, it was detected that sera of normal adult human subjects contained igg2 and igm heterophile antibodies (hetabs) that immunoreacted with these lipids. however, this immune recognition was not shared by the glycolipids of all mushroom species. the basidiolipids of amanita virosa (eng., death cup) and cantharellus cibarius (engl., chantarelle), of all mushroom species ... | 2001 | 11465669 |
| use of different nitrogen sources by the edible ectomycorrhizal mushroom cantharellus cibarius. | the growth of three strains of cantharellus cibarius on liquid media containing ammonium, nitrate and bovine serum albumin (bsa) in different combinations was determined. the most readily utilisable source of n was ammonium. bsa utilisation was limited compared with media containing ammonium. growth on nitrate was also poor, suggesting a limited capacity of c. cibarius to metabolise this nitrogen source. there was some indication of considerable intraspecific variation within c. cibarius in the ... | 2002 | 12072983 |

| analysis of nrdna sequences and microsatellite allele frequencies reveals a cryptic chanterelle species cantharellus cascadensis sp. nov. from the american pacific northwest. | in the pacific northwest, yellow chanterelles have long been referred to as cantharellus cibarius, synonymous with the european yellow chanterelle. broad scale genetic surveys of north american chanterelles with c. cibarius-like morphology have demonstrated that the nrdna internal transcribed spacer exhibits length variability, suggesting that this common morphology masks a species complex. recently researchers have used morphological and genetic data to identify the yellow chanterelle most freq ... | 2003 | 14635765 |
| ionic liquids for the production of insecticidal and microbicidal extracts of the fungus cantharellus cibarius. | different ionic liquids were used as solvents for the effective extraction of the active metabolites of the fruit bodies of c. cibarius. the type of ionic liquid was found to play a significant role in this process. we found that the protic ionic liquid 1-[(nonyloxy)methyl]-1h-imidazol-3-ium salicylate (6) is a most-efficient extracting agent, being superior to classical solvents such as acoet or hexane. the obtained extracts generally revealed high insecticidal activities against both house fly ... | 2007 | 17886840 |
