| a water-insoluble (1-->3)-beta-d-glucan from the alkaline extract of an edible mushroom termitomyces eurhizus. | a water-insoluble glucan, teins has been isolated from the hot alkaline extract of an edible mushroom termitomyces eurhizus. the total carbohydrate content of the polysaccharide fraction was found to be 98.4%, and it was found to contain only glucose as the monosaccharide constituent. on the basis of total acid hydrolysis, a methylation experiment, periodate oxidation and (13)c nmr experiment, the repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established as: -->3)-beta-d-glcp-(1-->. | 2006 | 17064674 |
| polysaccharide-rich fraction of termitomyces eurhizus accelerate healing of indomethacin induced gastric ulcer in mice. | the current study aims to determine the healing activity of water soluble polysaccharide-rich fraction of a wild mushroom, termitomyces eurhizus (teps) against the indomethacin induced gastric ulceration in mice model. gastric tissue histology, myeloperoxidase (mpo) activity, cyclooxygenases (cox) 1 and 2 expression, prostaglandin e2 (pge2) synthesis, and modulation of pro/anti inflammatory cytokines expression were studied for this purpose. histological study shows that teps (20 mg/kg) effectiv ... | 2013 | 23715800 |
| hydrolysis of oligosaccharides by a thermostable α-galactosidase from termitomyces eurrhizus. | the genus of termitomyces purchased from the market has been identified as termitomyces eurrhizus using the internal transcribed spacer (its) method. an α-galactosidase from t. eurrhizus (teg), a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 72 kda, was purified 146 fold by employing ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. the optimum ph and temperature was 5.0 and 60 °c, respectively. teg was stable over ph 2-6, and also exhibited good thermostablility, retaining 100% of the original activ ... | 2015 | 26670230 |
| selective inhibition of leishmania donovani by active extracts of wild mushrooms used by the tribal population of india: an in vitro exploration for new leads against parasitic protozoans. | the study was intended at evaluating the anti-proliferating effect of mushrooms used in traditional folklore of santal tribal population in india against leishmania donovani (mhom/in/83/ag83). a total of eighteen extracts, three estracts from each mushroom [(80% ethanol extracted; fa), (water-soluble polysaccharide fraction; fb), (polyphenolic fraction; fc)], from six wild mushrooms were obtained. these extracts were tested against the promastigotes and amastigotes for their antileishmanial capa ... | 2014 | 24440295 |
| structural studies of water-soluble polysaccharides of an edible mushroom, termitomyces eurhizus. a reinvestigation. | the structure of two polysaccharides isolated from the hot aqueous extract of fruiting bodies of the mushroom, termitomyces eurhizus, have been reinvestigated. these consist of two homogeneous fractions ps-i and ps-ii. ps-i contains only d-glucose as the monosaccharide constituent. from methylation analysis and periodate oxidation studies, followed by glc-ms analysis the linkages, the sugar units in ps-i were identified as (1-->3)-d-glcp and (1-->6)-d-glcp. ps-ii contains d-glucose, and the mode ... | 2004 | 15063202 |
