Abstract
Pleurotus pulmonarius, commonly known as the mini oyster mushroom, is highly esteemed for its crisp texture and umami flavor. Limited genetic diversity among P. pulmonarius cultivars raises concerns regarding its sustainable industrial production. To delve into the maternal genetic diversity of the principal P. pulmonarius cultivars, 36 cultivars and five wild isolates were subjected to de novo sequencing and assembly to generate high-quality mitogenome sequences. The P. pulmonarius mitogenomes had lengths ranging from 69,096 to 72,905 base pairs. The mitogenome sizes of P. pulmonarius and those of other mushroom species in the Pleurotus genus showed a significant positive correlation with the counts of LAGLIDAG and GIY-YIG homing endonucleases encoded by intronic open reading frames. A comparison of gene arrangements revealed an inversion of a fragment containing atp9-nad3-nad2 between P. pulmonarius and P. ostreatus. The mitogenomes of P. pulmonarius were clustered into three distinct clades, two of which were crowded with commercial cultivars. Clade I, all of which possess an inserted dpo gene, shared a maternal origin linked to an ancestral cultivar from Taiwan. Primers were designed to target the dpo gene, potentially safeguarding intellectual property rights. The wild isolates in Clade III exhibited more divergent mitogenomes, rendering them valuable for breeding.

Abstract
Mushroom polysaccharides consist of a unique set of polymers that arrive intact in the human large intestine becoming available for fermentation by resident gut bacteria with potential benefits to the host. Here we have obtained four glucans from two mushrooms (Pholiota nameko and Pleurotus pulmonarius) under different extraction conditions and their fermentation profile by human gut bacteria in vitro was evaluated. These glucans were isolated and characterized as (1 → 3),(1 → 6)-β-D-glucans varying in branching pattern and water-solubility. An aliquot of each (1 → 3),(1 → 6)-β-D-glucan was subjected to controlled smith degradation process in order to obtain a linear (1 → 3)-β-D-glucan from each fraction. The four β-D-glucans demonstrated different water solubilities and molar mass ranging from 2.2 × 105 g.mol-1 to 1.9 × 106 g.mol-1. In vitro fermentation of the glucans by human gut microbiota showed they induced different short chain fatty acid production (52.0-97.0 mM/50 mg carbohydrates), but an overall consistent high propionate amount (28.5-30.3 % of total short chain fatty acids produced). All glucans promoted Bacteroides uniformis, whereas Anaerostipes sp. and Bacteroides ovatus promotion was strongly driven by the β-D-glucans solubility and/or branching pattern, highlighting the importance of β-D-glucan discrete structures to their fermentation by the human gut microbiota.

Abstract
Several Pleurotus species (oyster mushrooms) are commercially cultivated in India owing to the favorable tropical agro-climatic conditions. However, there are only a few studies on the microbiome of mushrooms, especially oyster mushrooms. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of endobacteria on mycelial growth, spawning, sporophore development, and proximate composition of P. pulmonarius. We isolated several bacterial strains from the sporophores of P. pulmonarius and assessed the in vitro production of indole acetic acid, ammonia, and siderophores. The selected bacteria were individually supplemented with spawn, substrate, or both for sporophore production. Three of 130 isolates were selected as mycelial growth-promoting bacteria in both solid and submerged fermentation. These bacterial isolates were identified through Gram staining, biochemical characterization, and 16S rRNA sequencing. Isolate PP showed 99.24% similarity with Priestia paraflexa, whereas isolates PJ1 and PJ2 showed 99.78% and 99.65% similarities, respectively, with Rossellomorea marisflavi. The bacterial supplementation with spawn, substrate, or both, increased the biological efficiency (BE) and nutrient content of the mushrooms. The bacterial supplementation with substrate augmented BE by 64.84%, 13.73%, and 27.13% using PJ2, PP, and PJ1, respectively; under similar conditions of spawn supplementation, BE was increased by 15.24%, 47.30%, 48.10%, respectively. Overall, the supplementation of endobacteria to improve oyster mushroom cultivation may open a new avenue for sustainable agricultural practices in the mushroom industry.

Abstract
Oyster mushroom spherical virus (OMSV) is a mycovirus with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome that infects the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. OMSV is horizontally transferred from an infected strain to a cured strain via mycelia. The infection results in significant inhibition of mycelial growth, malformation of fruiting bodies, and yield loss in oyster mushrooms. This study successfully transferred OMSV from P. ostreatus to Pleurotus pulmonarius. However, transmission was not successful in other Pleurotus species including P. citrinopileatus, P. eryngii, P. nebrodensis, and P. salmoneostramineus. The successful OMSV infection in P. pulmonarius was further verified with Western blot analysis using a newly prepared polyclonal antiserum against the OMSV coat protein. Furthermore, OMSV infection reduced the mycelial growth rate of P. pulmonarius. The OMSV-infected strain demonstrated abnormal performance including twisted mushrooms or irregular edge of the cap as well as reduced yield of fruiting bodies in P. pulmonarius, compared to the OMSV-free strain. This study is the first report on the infection and pathogenicity of OMSV to the new host P. pulmonarius. The data from this study therefore suggest that OMSV is a potential threat to P. pulmonarius.

Abstract
The production of proteases by white rot fungi, such as those of the genus Pleurotus, is related to the degradation of wood proteins, the substrate on which these fungi grow in the environment. From the point of view of production, they are still little explored for this purpose. A selection of agro-industrial residues highlighted corn bagasse as the best substrate for solid-state protease production using the basidiomycete Pleurotus pulmonarius. The enzyme production was maximized through a factorial design, where the enzyme activity increased from 137.8 ± 1.9 to 234.1 ± 2.7 U/mL. Factors such as temperature stability, pH, and chemical reagents were evaluated. The optimum temperature was 45 °C, showing low thermal stability at higher temperatures. The enzyme inhibition occurred by Mn2+ (50.3%) and Ba2+ (76.4%); SDS strongly inhibited the activity (82.4%), while pepstatin A partially inhibited (56%), suggesting an aspartic protease character. Regarding pH, the highest protease activity was obtained at pH 5.5. Partial characterization resulted in apparent values of the KM and Vmax constants of 0.61 mg/mL and 1.79 mM/min, respectively.

Abstract
Bio-enrichment of edible mushrooms is an outstanding strategy to deliver essential nutrients to human. In this study, an edible fungus; Pleurotus pulmonarius was cultivated on spent mushroom substrate (SMS) supplemented with copper, lithium, and zinc. Proximate and mineral analysis of cultivated mushroom was determined using methods of AOAC. Antimicrobial activity of cultivated mushroom was assessed against microorganisms using agar well diffusion. Antioxidant property of mushroom was assessed against free radicals. Similar (p ≤ 0.05) protein contents of 18.93%, 18.80% and 17.90% were respectively obtained in P. pulmonarius biofortified with Cu + Li + Zn, Cu + Zn and Zn. Crude fibre in element fortified-mushroom ranged from 9.02 to 10.11%, while non-fortified mushroom was 8.66%. Copper content of P. pulmonarius fortified with Cu alone and Cu + Zn were 96.12 mg/100 g and 98.09 mg/100 g, respectively. Mushroom fortified with Zn has the highest zinc content of 520.15 mg/100 g. Mushroom fortified with Li and Li + Zn have a similar (p ≤ 0.05) Li content of 106.02 mg/100 g and 104.30 mg/100 g, respectively. Extract from mushroom-fortified with copper has the highest zone of inhibition (15.1 mm) against Klebsiella pneumoniae at 1.0 mg/ml. Mushroom fortified with Cu + Li + Zn and Li + Zn, respectively have similar (p ≤ 0.05) scavenging activities of 79.10 and 81.0% against DPPH. Mushroom fortified with Zn or Zn + Cu enhanced the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum. Antimicrobial, antioxidant and prebiotic activities of fortified-mushroom could be attributed to arrays of phytochemicals and bio-accumulated elements. Hence, bio-fortified mushrooms can be used as functional foods and as biopharmaceuticals to treat ailments associated with nutrient deficient.

Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the yields and quality of the first-flush and second-flush Pleurotus pulmonarius mushrooms grown on three forestry wastes (pine, poplar, and honeysuckle rattan). The biological efficiency (BE) of the substrates varied from 61.89% to 81.01%. The total protein content, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content and equivalent umami concentration (EUC) values of the mushrooms were greatly influenced by the flush number and the substrate, however, the total sugar content and ergosterol content of the mushrooms were not significantly affected. The first-flush mushrooms that were grown on the pine sawdust-based substrate had the highest protein content, and the first-flush mushrooms that were grown on the honeysuckle rattan sawdust-based substrate had the highest GABA content and EUC values. All the mushroom samples accumulated Cu but excluded Ca, Mn, Pb, Cr, and Cd, and the concentrations of Mg, Fe, and Mn are species and flush number dependent.

Abstract
Pleurotus pulmonarius is a popular and widely cultivated edible mushroom in China. In November 2021, white blotch disease (3% incidence) was observed on the cap of P. pulmonarius, growing in a mushroom farm in Nanning, China. Initially, white blotch (0.7-1.6 cm) appeared on the cap of the young P. pulmonarius, which expanded gradually as the cap grew. However, the fruiting bodies still grew well without rotting. The pathogen causing this phenomenon was isolated from infected cap tissues using a dilution plate technique, sections of tissue (approximately 5×5×5 mm) with white blotch were rinsed three times in sterile deionized water, then, mashed in the sterile 2 ml eppendorf tubes, 1000µl sterile water was added and the suspension was diluted into eight concentrations (10-1~10-8). From each concentration, 120µl suspension was spread on Luria Bertani (LB) medium and incubated for 24 hours at 28°C. Both 10-5 and 10-6 suspensions had single colonies, the dominant single colonies were picked and purified 2-3 times. The purified colonies were round, beige, and opaque, with a raised center and regular, smooth and moist margins. This bacterium is gram negative, short rod-shaped, single polar flagellum, motile, without pods or endospores, and produced fluorescent pigments on King's B medium. Amplified 16S rDNA (1396 bp; OM022022) of four randomly selected colonies using universal primers 27f/1492r, exhibited 100% identity with Pseudomonas (Ps.) mosselii. The partial sequences of the rpoB (1173bp; OM202622), rpoD (734bp; ON469579), gyrB (1383bp; OM202621) and recA (887bp; ON469580) genes of four selected colonies were amplified using primers LAPS5/LAFS27(Tayeb et al. 2005.), PsEG30F/PsEG790R (Mulet et al. 2009), gyrB-R/gyrB-F (Agaras et al. 2018) and recA-F (5'-3' ACGACAACAAGAAGCGCGCCTT)/recA-R (5'-3' CAATGGCCGGGTTCTCTTGCAGGTA) designed in this study, respectively, also exhibited 99%~100% similarities to Ps. mosselii. Phylogenetic analysis showed that isolates cluster with Ps. mosselii. The biochemical tests for isolates were performed via bacterial micro-biochemical reaction tubes (Hangzhou Microbial Reagent Co., LTD), and the results showed the same biochemical characteristics as Ps. mosselii (Positive for arginine dihydrolase, trisodium citrate, urea, lysine, arginine, ornithine and gelatin. Negative for glucosamine, lactose, galactose, rhamnose, maltose, sucrose, arabinose, mannose, xylose, esculoside, inositol, nitrate reduction and malonate) (Dabboussi et al.2002; Soto-Rodriguez et al. 2013). The isolates were identified as Ps. mosselii based on biochemical tests and phylogenetic analysis. This isolate was incubated in LB Broth at 28℃, 160 rpm for 24h and the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 10min. The collected bacterial cells were resuspended in sterile deionized water to make a bacterial suspension. For pathogenicity tests, 30µl of bacterial suspension (approximately 1x10^9 CFU/mL) was added to the surface of the cap (3-4cm) of young P. pulmonarius. Sterile deionized water was added as a negative control. All treatments were incubated at 22°C and 80-85% humidity. The experiment was repeated three times with three bags each time. 12 h later, white blotches were visible on all parts of the inoculated mushroom. This disease symptoms were similar to those observed in the original samples. However, no disease phenomena were observed in the negative control group. After the pathogenicity test, we obtained the same pathogen as the initially isolates from infected tissues based on morphological characteristics, 16S rDNA sequences, rpoB, rpoD, gyrB and recA sequences, and biochemical test results. Ps. mosselii was first isolated clinically and described by Dabboussi et al. (2002). It has shown to be pathogenic to Oreochromis niloticus and humans (Soto-Rodriguez et al. 2013; Peña et al. 2019; Leneveu-Jenvrin et al. 2013; Huang et al. 2018.). However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Ps. mosselii causing white blotch disease in P. pulmonarius worldwide, which negatively affects the commercial value of P. pulmonarius and requires attention of mushroom industry.

Abstract
Mycoremediation of unsterilized PCDD/F-contaminated field soil was successfully demonstrated by solid-state fermentation coupled with Pleurotus pulmonarius utilizing a patented incubation approach. The experiments were carried out in four setups with two as controls. The contaminated soil was homogenously mixed with solid inocula, 1:0.5 dry w/w, resulting in an initial concentration of 4432 ± 623 ng WHO-TEQ kg-1. After a 30-day incubation under controlled conditions, the overall removal (approx. 60%) was non-specific. The removal was attributed to degradation by extracellular ligninolytic enzymes and uptake into the fruiting tissue (~110 ng WHO-TEQ kg-1 of mushroom). Furthermore, less recalcitrant chlorinated metabolites were found, implying ether bond cleavage and dechlorination happened during the mycoremediation. These metabolites resulted from the complex interaction between P. pulmonarius and the indigenous microbes from the unsterilized soil. This study provides a new step toward scaling up this mycoremediation technique to treat unsterilized PCDD/F-contaminated field soil.

Abstract
AIMS Green-mould contamination is identified as one of the challenges faced by mushroom cultivation industry globally which believed to be caused by Trichoderma spp. METHODS AND RESULTS To explore the dynamics of microbial population in mushroom substrate during commercial mushroom cultivation and how microbiota might play a role in green-mould contamination, we applied both culturing and targeted metagenomics approaches to identify microbiota in noncomposted sawdust substrates at different cultivation stages. The microbiological analysis showed that the green-mould contaminated substrates harboured higher total mesophilic bacteria count. The green-moulds isolated from the contaminated mushroom substrates were identified as Trichoderma pleurotum (n = 15; 93.8%) and Graphium penicillioides (n = 1; 6.3%). To our surprise, the targeted metagenomic analysis revealed that Graphium comprised 56.3% while Trichoderma consisted of only 36.1% of the total fungi population, suggesting that green-mould contamination might not be caused by Trichoderma alone, but also Graphium that grows very slowly in the laboratory. CONCLUSION It is worthwhile to note that G. penicillioides was also isolated in the early stages of mushroom cultivation, but not T. pleurotum. The results indicated that the structure and composition of the bacterial population in the mushroom substrate varied and the bacterial population shifted along the cultivation process. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY This study revealed a possibility of G. penicillioides as an overlooked fungi causing green-mould contamination.

Abstract
The contamination of foods and feeds with mycotoxins has been an issue of global significance. For mycotoxin detoxification, enzymatic biodegradation using laccase has received much attention. In this study, a laccase gene lac2 from the fungus Pleurotus pulmonarius was expressed in the Pichia pastoris X33 yeast strain to produce recombinant proteins. Enzymatic properties of recombinant Lac2 and its ability to degrade zearalenone (ZEN) and Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in the presence of four mediators (ABTS, TEMPO, AS and SA) were investigated. Result showed that the optimum pH and temperature of recombinant Lac2 were 3.5 and 55 °C, respectively. Lac2 was not sensitive to heat and stable under both acidic and alkaline conditions. Lac2-ABTS and Lac2-AS were efficient systems for ZEN degradation over a wide range of pH (4-8) and temperature (40-60 °C). Lac2-AS was the most efficient system for AFB1 degradation, reaching 99.82% of degradation at pH 7 and 37 °C after 1 h of incubation. Finally, the Lac2-mediator oxidation products were structurally characterized. This study lays a solid foundation for the application of Lac2 laccase combined with AS for degrading mycotoxin in food and feed.

Abstract
Mushroom cultivation along with the palm oil industry in Malaysia have contributed to large volumes of accumulated lignocellulosic residues that cause serious environmental pollution when these agroresidues are burned. In this study, we illustrated the utilization of lignocellulolytic enzymes from the spent mushroom substrate of Pleurotus pulmonarius for the hydrolysis of palm oil mill effluent (POME). The hydrolysate was used for the production of biohydrogen gas and enzyme assays were carried out to determine the productivities/activities of lignin peroxidase, laccase, xylanase, endoglucanase and β-glucosidase in spent mushroom substrate. Further, the enzyme cocktails were concentrated for the hydrolysis of POME. Central composite design of response surface methodology was performed to examine the effects of enzyme loading, incubation time and pH on the reducing sugar yield. Productivities of the enzymes for xylanase, laccase, endoglucanase, lignin peroxidase and β-glucosidase were 2.3, 4.1, 14.6, 214.1, and 915.4 U g-1, respectively. A maximum of 3.75 g/l of reducing sugar was obtained under optimized conditions of 15 h incubation time with 10% enzyme loading (v/v) at a pH of 4.8, which was consistent with the predicted reducing sugar concentration (3.76 g/l). The biohydrogen cumulative volume (302.78 ml H2.L-1 POME) and 83.52% biohydrogen gas were recorded using batch fermentation which indicated that the enzymes of spent mushroom substrate can be utilized for hydrolysis of POME.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study provides an insight into the impact of ultrasound-assisted extraction with water as solvent (UAEW) and extraction by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2 ) with 5% EtOH on antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activity in regard to the chemical profile of the edible and medicinal mushroom, Pleurotus pulmonarius. RESULTS Extraction efficiency was between 0.36% and 63.32%, depending on the extraction technique. The main compounds in the extracts were fatty acids. Supercritical CO2 extraction with co-solvent was the most suitable method for obtaining extracts that were rich in ergosterol content, reaching a value of 40.1 mg g-1 . The UAEW of crude mushroom powder ensured the highest yield, as well as the extracts with best antioxidative activity. The measurements of enzyme inhibitory activity revealed that all types of investigated extracts exhibited only tyrosinase and amylase inhibition at a significant level. CONCLUSION Based on our results, the extraction methods significantly affected the chemical profile and bioactivity of P. pulmonarius. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the mycoremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by either single cultures or binary consortia of Pleurotus pulmonarius LBM 105 and Trametes sanguinea LBM 023. METHODS AND RESULTS PCBs tolerance, removal capacity, toxicity reduction and ligninolytic enzyme expression were assessed when growing single culture and binary consortium of fungus in 217 mg l-1 of a technical mixture of Aroclor 1242, 1254 and 1260 in transformer oil. A decrease in tolerance and variation in ligninolytic enzyme secretion were observed in PCB-amended solid media. Pleurotus pulmonarius LBM 105 mono-culture was able to remove up to 95·4% of PCBs, whereas binary consortium and T. sanguinea LBM 023 could biodegrade about 55% after 24 days. Significant detoxification levels were detected in all treatments by biosorption mechanism. CONCLUSIONS Pleurotus pulmonarius LBM 105 in single culture had the best performance regarding PCBs biodegradation and toxicity reduction. Ligninolytic enzyme secretion changed in co-culture. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The evaluation of PCBs bioremediation effectiveness of basidiomycetes consortium in terms of PCB removal, toxicity and ligninolytic enzyme production to unravel the differences between using individual cultures or consortium has not been reported. The results from this study enable the selection of P. pulmonarius LBM 105 mono-culture to bioremediate PCBs as it showed higher efficiency compared to binary consortium with T. sanguinea LBM 023 for potential decontamination of PCB-contaminated transformer oil.

Abstract
Pleurotus mushrooms are among the most cultivated fungi in the world and are highly valuable for food, medicine, and biotechnology industries. Furthermore, Pleurotus species are carnivorous fungi; they can rapidly paralyze and kill nematodes when nutrient-deprived. The predator-prey interactions between Pleurotus and nematodes are still widely unexplored. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms and the genes involved in the carnivorous behavior of Pleurotus mushrooms remain a mystery. We are attempting to understand the interactions between Pleurotus mushrooms and their nematode prey through genetic and genomic analyses. Two single spores (ss2 and ss5) isolated from a fruiting body of Pleurotus pulmonarius exhibited significant differences in growth and toxicity against nematodes. Thus, using PacBio long reads, we assembled and annotated two high-quality genomes for these two isolates of P. pulmonarius. Each of these assemblies contains 23 scaffolds, including 6 (ss2) and 8 (ss5) telomere-to-telomere scaffolds, and they are among the most complete assembled genomes of the Pleurotus species. Comparative analyses identified the genomic differences between the two P. pulmonarius strains. In sum, this work provides a genomic resource that will be invaluable for better understanding the Italian oyster mushroom P. pulmonarius.

Abstract
Pleurotus pulmonarius is a popular edible fungus and widely cultivated in many areas of China. In June 2018, yellow rot (more than 10% incidence) was found on the first crop of P. pulmonarius fruiting bodies in a mushroom factory in Nanning, Guangxi Province, China. At first, yellow water-soaked lesions appeared in the infected fruiting bodies. Lesions then spread and purulent tissues were formed. Severe rot induced production of deformed fruiting bodies and offensive odor. Internal sections of the diseased tissue (approximately 0.5 × 0.5 cm) were sterilized in 75% alcohol for 30 s, rinsed three times with sterilized and deionized water, crushed and suspended in sterilized and deionized water. The suspension was spread on the Luria-Bertani (LB) medium. After incubation at 30°C for 2 days, dominant bacterial colonies were oyster white, smooth, convex, and circular. Individual colonies were transferred two times to LB medium using the conventional streak plate techniques to obtain the pure cultures. The cells were gram-negative, short rods, motile, and no capsules or endospores were observed. Using a BoJian Gram-negative bacteria biochemical analysis kit (5 CARDS, Hopebio, Qingdao, China), data were obtained and analyzed, showing that the isolated strain belongs to the Cedecea genus (positive for β-galactosidase, citric acid, arginine, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, D-glucose, gelatin hydrolysis and VP test but negative for H2S, urease, oxidase, indole, rhamnose, melibiose, amygdalin, lysine, ornithine, lactose, inositol and arabinose). Amplified 16S rDNA gene sequences (1,424 bp, GenBank accession No. MT925570) of the isolate using the universal primers 27f and 1492r (Lane 1991) exhibited 99.86% identity with Cedecea neteri M006 (CP009458.1). Based on its morphological characteristics, 16S rDNA sequences, and biochemical test results, the strain was identified as C. neteri. Pathogenicity tests for this strain were performed with bacterial suspensions (approximately 1 × 108 CFU/ml) after growing for 24 h in LB medium at 30°C. Mycelia of P. pulmonarius were cultivated for 60 days in plastic bags. Then young fruiting bodies were formed after induced with low temperature stimulation to serve as a host source. The prepared bacterial suspensions were directly sprayed onto the surface of three bags of fruiting bodies; another three bags were sprayed with sterilized and deionized water as negative control. All inoculated fruiting bodies were then incubated at 20°C with 90 to 95% relative humidity. All experiments were repeated three times. After 2 days, all the fruiting bodies inoculated with the bacterial suspensions showed yellow water-soaked lesions, and the normal growth of the fruiting bodies was inhibited. An offensive odor then developed along with a severe soft rot that was similar to the disease symptoms observed under natural conditions. The fruiting bodies of negative control were growing healthily with no symptoms. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by isolating bacteria from lesions on artificially inoculated fruiting bodies that were identical to the original isolates based on morphological characteristics, 16S rDNA sequences and biochemical test results. C. neteri was formally reported as a pathogen to humans that could cause bacteremia (Farmer et al. 1982). Recently, it has also been reported causing soft rot disease on mushrooms of Pholiota nameko (Yan et al. 2018) and yellow sticky disease on mushrooms of Flammulina velutipes (Yan et al. 2019). However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. neteri-induced yellow rot disease of P. pulmonarius in China.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the use of white rot fungus, Pleurotus pulmonarius, to treat polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) in contaminated soil using solid state fermentation (SSF). The soil was collected from a long-closed pentachlorophenol plant in southern Taiwan. The non-sterilized soil with a total PCDD/F concentration of 14,000 ± 2400 ng I-TEQ kg-1 was mixed directly with the solid fungal inocula at dry w/w ratio of 1:1.4 (ratio-adjusted test) and incubated at 26 ± 2 °C in a controlled environment. The highest PCDD/F decomposition was observed during the mycelium colonization. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) studied during this period (35 days) indicated that laccase had no significant correlation (r = -0.53), while manganese peroxidase had a strong positive correlation (r = 0.88) with PCDD/F decomposition efficiency. After 72 days, the more toxic congeners, tetra- and penta-CDD/Fs were removed to non-detectable levels. Meanwhile, the removal efficiencies of hexa-, hepta-, and octa-CDD/Fs were >80%, >97%, and >90%, respectively. The simultaneous degradation of low and high chlorinated DD/Fs suggested that overall removal was nonspecific. The overall PCDD/F removal was 96%, and the residual concentration (276 ng I-TEQ kg-1) was below the regulatory control limit (1000 ng I-TEQ kg-1). In conclusion, this study shows that P. pulmonarius via SSF can successfully remediate the PCDD/F-contaminated field soil. Furthermore, this SSF technique overcame the well-known intractability of PCDD/F biodegradation in non-sterilized soil, making it promising for actual field application.

Abstract
A spontaneous, morphological variation 'sango' was observed in the progeny of a Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fr.) Quél. wild-type basidiocarp (also known as fruiting body) collected from the field. This variant developed wart- and coral-like structures instead of normal basidiocarps. Microscopic analysis showed that the sango phenotype had defects in the differentiation of the pileus and hymenium. Basidiocarp phenotypic data analysis in the progenies revealed that the sango trait is a heritable mutation character controlled by a single recessive gene. This mutation locus was mapped on linkage group III of a previously constructed genetic linkage map by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique in P. pulmonarius. Four AFLP markers identified by bulked segregant analysis showed linkage to the sango mutation locus, with the genetic distance ranging from 0 to 2.1 cM. Of these markers, one marker was co-segregated with the sango mutation locus. This knowledge will be a useful foundation for practical breeding as well as for elucidating molecular mechanisms in basidiocarp development of main edible mushrooms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wines are produced via the alcoholic fermentation of suitable substrates, usually sugar (sugar cane, grapes) and carbohydrates (wheat, grain). However, conventional alcoholic fermentation is limited by the inhibition of yeast by ethanol produced, usually at approximately 13-14%. Aside from that, soursop fruit is a very nutritious fruit, although it is highly perishable, and thus produces a lot of wastage. Therefore, the present study aimed to produce fermented soursop juice (soursop wine), using combination of two starter cultures, namely mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), as well as to determine the effects of fermentation on the physicochemical and antioxidant activities of fermented soursop juice. Optimisation of four factors (pH, temperature, time and culture ratio) using response surface methodology were performed to maximise ethanol production. RESULTS The optimised values for alcoholic fermentation were pH 4.99, 28.29 °C, 131 h and a 0.42 culture ratio (42:58, P. pulmonarius mycelia:S. cerevisiae) with a predicted ethanol concentration of 22.25%. Through a verification test, soursop wine with 22.29 ± 0.52% ethanol was produced. The antioxidant activities (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and ferric reducing antioxidant power) showed a significant (P < 0.05) increase from the soursop juice to soursop wine. CONCLUSION The alternative fermentation technique using yeast and mushroom has successfully been optimised, with an increased ethanol production in soursop wine and higher antioxidant activities. Ultimately, this finding has high potential for application in the brewing industry to enhance the fermentation process, as well as in the development of an innovative niche product, reducing wastage by converting the highly-perishable fruit into wine with a more stable and longer shelf-life. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Pleurotus pulmonarius, a member of the Pleurotaceae family in Basidiomycota, is an edible, economically important mushroom in most Asian countries. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of three P. pulmonarius strains - two monokaryotic commercial (J1-13 and ZA3) and one wild (X1-15) - were sequenced and analyzed. In ZA3 and X1-15, the mtDNA molecule was found to be a single circle of 68,305 bp and 73,435 bp, respectively. Both strains contain 14 core protein-coding genes and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) subunit genes. The ZA3 strain has 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and nine introns: eight in cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (coxl), and one in the rRNA large subunit (rnl). Monokaryotic J1-13 and ZA3 mtDNAs were found to be similar in their structure. However, the wild strain X1-15 contains 25 tRNA genes and only seven introns in coxl. Open reading frames (ORFs) of ZA3/J1-13 and X1-15 encode LAGLIDADG, ribosomal protein S3, and DNA polymerase II. In addition, mtDNA inheritance in J1-13, ZA3, and X1-15 was also studied. Results showed that the mtDNA inheritance pattern was uniparental and closely related to dikaryotic hyphal location with respect to the parent. Results also show that mtDNA inheritance is influenced by both the parental nuclear genome and mitogenome in the zone of contact between two compatible parents. In summary, this analysis provides valuable information and a basis for further studies to improve our understanding of the inheritance of fungal mtDNA.

Abstract
The "replacing wood by grass" project can partially resolve the conflict between mushroom production and balancing the ecosystem, while promoting agricultural economic sustainability. Pleurotus pulmonarius is an economically important edible and medicinal mushroom, which is traditionally produced using a substrate consisting of sawdust and cottonseed hulls, supplemented with wheat bran. A simplex lattice design was applied to systemically optimize the cultivation of P. pulmonarius using agro-residues as the main substrate to replace sawdust and cottonseed hulls. The effects of differing amounts of wheat straw, corn straw, and soybean straw on the variables of yield, mycelial growth rate, stipe length, pileus length, pileus width, and time to harvest were demonstrated. Results indicated that a mix of wheat straw, corn straw, and soybean straw may have significantly positive effects on each of these variables. The high yield comprehensive formula was then optimized to include 40.4% wheat straw, 20.3% corn straw, 18.3% soybean straw, combined with 20.0% wheat bran, and 1.0% light CaCO3 (C/N = 42.50). The biological efficiency was 15.2% greater than that of the control. Most encouraging was the indication that the high yield comprehensive formula may shorten the time to reach the reproductive stage by 6 days, compared with the control. Based on the results of this study, agro-residues may be used as a suitable substitution for sawdust and cottonseed hulls as the main cultivation substrates of P. pulmonarius. These results provide a theoretical basis for the "replacing wood by grass" project on edible mushroom cultivation.

Abstract
AIMS To demonstrate the plant growth-promoting potential of a wood-decay mushroom. METHODS AND RESULTS A wild strain of a white rot fungus (Pleurotus pulmonarius) was found to convert 10 mmol l-1 L-tryptophan (TRP) to approximately 15 μg ml-1 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) under the optimal growth conditions of 30°C and pH 5 for 15 days. Results of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry indicated IAA synthesis through the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway when using cellulose as a sole carbon source. The mycelium as well as the culture filtrate promoted the growth and chlorophyll content of seedlings. In a monocotyledonous plant (rice), the number of lateral roots was increased experimentally, whereas in a dicotyledonous plant (tomato), the fungus led to an increased length of shoots and roots. CONCLUSIONS TRP-dependent IAA production was demonstrated for the first time for P. pulmonarius and may be responsible for enhancing plant growth in vitro. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Synthesis of IAA as the most prevalent phytohormone in plants has been demonstrated for soil microfungi. Pleurotus pulmonarius is reported as an IAA-producing wood-decay macrofungus. The higher temperature optimum of P. pulmonarius isolated from subtropical environment compared to other Pleurotus species from temperate regions makes it more suitable for application in subtropical/tropical regions.

Abstract
Culinary mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius has been popular in Asian countries. In this study, the anti-oxidant, cholinesterase, and inflammation inhibitory activities of methanol extract (ME) of fruiting bodies of P. pulmonarius were evaluted. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazy free radical scavenging activity of ME at 2.0 mg/mL was comparable to that of butylated hydroxytoluene, the standard reference. The ME exhibited significantly higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity than butylated hydroxytoluene. ME showed slightly lower but moderate inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase than galantamine, a standard AChE inhibitor. It also exhibited protective effect against cytotoxicity to PC-12 cells induced by glutamate (10~100 µg/mL), inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, and carrageenan-induced paw edema in a rat model. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed the ME of P. pulmonarius contained at least 10 phenolic compounds and some of them were identified by the comparison with known standard phenolics. Taken together, our results demonstrate that fruiting bodies of P. pulmonarius possess antioxidant, anti-cholinesterase, and inflammation inhibitory activities.

Abstract
Spent mushroom compost (SMC) of Pleurotus pulmonarius (an edible fungus) was used as soil conditioner for the improvement of growth of four common Nigerian vegetables (Abelmoschus esculentus, Lycopersicum esculentum, Capsicum annum and Capsicum chinense). The results of these investigations showed that the vegetables responded well to the SMC treatment. Each of them attained its best growth and gave the highest number of flowers and fruits when planted on 6 kg of depleted garden soil supplemented with 600 g of SMC. The control experiment that has the seedlings of the vegetables planted on 6 kg of depleted garden soil only, without the application of SMC, showed stunted and poor growth, with few or no flower and fruit production. A. esculentus was the best utilizer of iron utilizing 118.0 mg/kg in the SMC used. Similarly; this vegetable utilized 1.48 mg/kg of nitrogen in the SMC. The highest height in each vegetable was attained with 6 kg of depleted garden soil supplemented with 600 g of SMC. At 9 wk, A. esculentus has the mean height of 85.0 cm while these values significantly increased to 100.00 cm at 14 wk (p ≤ 0.05). At 9 wk, L. esculentum has the highest mean height of 65.00 cm which increased to 71.00 cm after 14 wk. It was also observed that A. esculentus has the highest mean number of fruits (9.00), followed in order by C. chinense (8.00) and L. esculentus (7.00) (p ≤ 0.05) while, C. annum produced the least mean number of fruits (5.00). No fruits production was seen in the control experiments. The results of these findings were discussed in relation to the usage of SMC as possible organic fertilizer for the improvement of growth of vegetables in Nigeria.

Abstract
Mushrooms are low calorie food with very little fat and are highly suitable for obese persons. With no starch and very low sugars, they are the 'delight of the diabetics'. Combination of herbal drugs (or isolated phytochemicals) is found to be beneficial in certain diseases when given along with conventional drugs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of aqueous extract of Pleurotus pulmonarius (Lentinaceae) (called as PP-aqu) and its interaction with glyburide in alloxan induced diabetic mice. The diabetic mice treated were with PP-aqu (500 mg/kg, p.o.) alone or combination with glyburide (10 mg/kg, p.o.) for 28 days. Blood samples were collected by orbital sinus puncture using heparinized capillary glass tubes and were analyzed for serum glucose on 0, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days. Body weights and mortality were noted during the study period. In oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), glucose (2.5 g/kg, p.o.) was administered with either vehicle, PP-aqu alone or in combination with glyburide and serum glucose level analyzed at 0, 30, 60 and 120 min after drug administration. Administration of PP-aqu (500 mg/kg) and its combination with glyburide (10 mg/kg) significantly (P < 0.001) decreased serum glucose level in diabetic mice. In OGTT, glyburide or PP-aqu treatment alone or their combination produced significant (P < 0.001) increase in glucose threshold. Thus we suggest that P. pulmonarius showed potent and synergistic antihyperglycemic effect in combination with glyburide.

Abstract
Inter-specific hybridization between Pleurotus pulmonarius and P. florida was attempted through PEG-induced protoplast fusion to select a fusant. The protocol for protoplast release, regeneration and fusion in these two Pleurotus species was standardized using the variables controlling the process. The mixture of mycolytic enzymes, i.e. commercial cellulase, crude chitinase and pectinase, KCl (0.6 M) as osmotic stabilizer, pH 6 of the phosphate buffer and an incubation time of 3 hours resulted in the maximum release of protoplasts from 3-day-old mycelia of P. florida (5.3~5.75 × 10(7) protoplasts/g) and P. pulmonarius (5.6~6 × 10(7) protoplasts/g). The isolated protoplasts of P. florida regenerated mycelium with 3.3% regeneration efficiency while P. pulmonarius showed 4.1% efficiency of regeneration. Polyethyleneglycol (PEG) - induced fusion of protoplasts of these two species resulted in 0.28% fusion frequency. The fusant produced fruiting bodies on paddy straw but required a lower temperature of crop running (24 ± 2℃) than its parents which could fruit at 28 ± 2℃. The stable fusant strain was selected by testing for the selected biochemical markers i.e. Carbendazim tolerance and utilization of the lignin degradation product, vanillin.
