The effect of exo-polymer from Ganoderma lucidum on the swimming endurance capacity of mice was investigated. The administration of the exo-polymer (100 mg/kg body weight) increased the swimming endurance capacity of mice by about 10 min and reduced the muscle and liver glycogen exhaustion by $18.5\%\;and\;67.2\%$, respectively. A substantial decrease in serum lactate accumulation ($50.7\%$) was also achieved under the influence of the exo-polymer. The exo-polymer was determined to be a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 780 kDa and found to contain $82.8\%$ carbohydrate and $17.2\%$ protein.

This study investigated the cultural characteristics of Shimizuomyces paradoxus in different nutritional and environmental conditions. The highest mycelial growth was observed in Schizophyllum (mushroom) genetics complete medium plus yeast extract agar medium, and the optimal temperature and pH were $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were 1% dextrose and 1% peptone in agar. However, in liquid culture the highest dry mycelium weight was found for the potato dextrose agar and potato sucrose agar broths. The optimum inoculum size was five mycelial discs (5 mm) per 100 mL of broth, and the optimum liquid culture period was 25 days. This is the first ever report of S. paradoxus cultural characteristics.

The hypoglycemic effect of Collybia confluens exobiopolymer was investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. In a dose-dependent study, the exobiopolymer, at 150 mg/kg body weight (BW) dose substantially lowered the plasma glucose level by 29.3%, as compared to the control group. It also lowered the plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride levels by 23.3 and 30.7%, respectively, and reduced the liver total cholesterol and triglyceride levels by 23.0 and 33.5%, respectively. The activity of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) was reduced 34.6% and 23.6% respectively, by the exobiopolymer administration, compared to the control group. The exobiopolymer was found to contain 83.2% carbohydrate and 16.8% protein. The sugar and amino acid of the exobiopolymer were also analyzed in detail.

In the course of screening for selective growth inhibitors against the mycelial form of Candida albicans, we isolated a Streptomyces sp. A6792 from soils. The inhibitor was isolated from the above bacterium and identified through several spectral analyses with UV and mass spectrophotometries, and various NMR. The compound was determined to be a macrocyclic dilactone antibiotic, IKD-8344 (molecular weight: 844, molecular formula: $C_{48}H_{76}O_{12}$). The compound selectively inhibited the growth of mycelial form of C. albicans with an MIC of 6.25 ${\mu}g/ml$. It also exhibited strong inhibitory effect preferentially on the mycelial form of various Candida spp. including C. krusei, C. tropicalis, and C. lusitaniae, with MICs ranging from 1.56 to 25 ${\mu}g$/ml. Furthermore, the compound showed no significant toxicity against SPF ICR mice up to 60 mg/kg. These results suggest that IKD-8344 is a useful lead compound for the development of novel antifungal agents, based on the preferential growth inhibition against Candida spp.

본 실험에 있어서는 phenylmercuric acetate에 못지 않은 살균력을 나타낸다고 보고된 phenylemercuric 8-oxyquinolinate를 phenylmercuric acetate 와 대비시켜 벼 고마엽고병균 에 대하여 먼저 균체의 건물량에 의한 균사발육 효과를 확인하고 포자 및 균사의 호흡 저해효과를 검토한 바 그 결과를 보고하는 바이다. (1) 균사발육 억제효과를 보면 phenylmercuric 8-oxyquinolinate는 phenylmercuric acetate보다 약간 떨어지나 현저한 차이는 없으며, 양자 모두 0.01ppm부터 1.0ppm까지의 사이에서 급격히 발육 억제효과가 증가한다. (2) 포자효흡 저해작용은 0.1ppm을 제외하고는 phenylmercuric acetate가 phenylmercuric 8-oxyquinolinate보다 약간 강하나 뚜렷한 차이는 인정할 수 없으며 0.01ppm에서는 거의 저해효과가 없는 듯하다. (3) 균사호흡 저해작용은 포자호흡과는 반대로 phenylmercuric 8-oxyquinolinate 가 phenylmercuric acctate 보다 강하며, 또한 그 차도 커서 약 $10\%$쯤 된다. (4) 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아 phenylmercuric 8-oxyquinolinate의 포자발아 억제효과는 phenylmercuric acetate와 동정도이거나 약간 높으며, 균사발육 억제효과는 phenylmercuric acetate보다 낮음이 명백하다.

Since the importance of casing in fruit body formation of Agaricus bisporus has been emphasized, physico-chemical characteristics of casing materials were discussed by many workers and a mixture of peat and mineral soil as proper casing material has been adopted in many of mushroom growing countries. Because of limited resources of peat in Korea, it is necessary to find practical performance and substitutional materials for casing. The effect of casing on mycelial growth and mushroom yield of A. bisporus varied with materials, its combination and practices etc. The experiments to be discussed in this paper are concerned with pH and Ca of casing material which influence A bisporus, and changes of physico-chemical characteristics with mixing ratio of casing materials and its effect on A. bisporus. The optimum range of moisture content of each material, management of watering and application of physico-chemical characteristics casing materials was also investigated and re-use of weathered spent compost for casing material was described. 1. The effect of calcium on mycelial growth of A. bisporus at various pH in Halbschalentest showed different results with calcium sources. Best results were obtained around neutrality and fresh weight of fruit bodies grown in the range of pH 7 to 8 was highest among the tested levels. 2. Available moisture, pore space, organic matter, cation exchangeable capacity and exchangeable cation was increased by an increase of mixing ratio of peat in casing materials, while an adverse effect was obtained by addition of sand. 3. Mycelial growth on clay loam was more rapid at a lower bulk density of 0.75g/cc and at 20% moisture content on a dry weight basis at the same bulk density. 4. Mixing ratio of casing materials, 60 to 80 per cent by volume of peat mixed with 20 to 40 per cent of clay loam produced the highest yield of fresh fruit bodies and sand the lowest. However, per cent of open cap was highest in peat and lowest in sand. 5. Days required for fruit body initiation was shortened in mixtures of peat and clay loam by one to three days compared with other materials and the formation of flushes was clear. 6. The effect of some physico-chemical characteristics of casing materials on the fresh weight of fruit bodies were estimated by a multiple regression equation; Y=-923.86+$8.18X_1+8.04X_2+7.90X_3+0.12X_4+2.03X_5-0.82X_6-0.54X_7$ where $X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4,X_5,X_6,X_7$ are sand, silt, clay, available moistuer, porosity, organic matter and exchangeable cation respectively. The productivity of certain casing material could be predicted from this equation. 7. Fresh weight of fruit bodies was positively correlated with porosity exchangeable cation, organic matter, available moisture, silt and clay of materials; while sand was negatively correlated. On the contrary, sand was the unique factor reducing per cent of open cap. 8. Distribution of three phases of high productive casing material was concentrated in the range of 10 to 30 per cent solids, 15 to 30 per cent liquids, and 50 to 60 per cent in air volume. 9. Fresh weight of fruit bodies from peat was not affected with heavy watering but in clay loam and sandy loam severe crop losses occurred. Fresh weight of individual fruit was increased and open caps were decreased with heavy watering but light watering resulted in adverse effects: its effect was especially great in peat. 10. Optimum range of moisture content by weight on a dry basis was different with each casing material. To maintain optimum moisture content concerned with yield of fruit bodies and open cap, sandy loam and peat mixtures required daily watering of 0.6, 0.6 to 1. 2 and 1.2 to 2.4 liters per $3.3m^2$ of bed area, respectively. 11. Maximum yield of fruit body was recorded in the range of pF 2. 0 to 2. 5 of casing materials if organic matter content was below 4.2 per cent and in pF 1. 3 to 1.8 if above 7.1%. 12. pF curve of a certain casing material could be draws from moisture content at various pF values by multiple regression equations provided texture, organic matter and calcium of the casing material are given. Optimum moisture range of the casing materials also could be estimated by the equation. 13. It was possible to improve the phyico-chemical characteristics of clay loam and sandy loam by addition of weathered spent compost although the effect was less than in the case of peat. Fresh weight of fruit bodies wsa increased by addition of weathered spent compost but its effect was not as remarkable as peat. Accordingly, further studies will be required.

Ashwagandha is an important ancient medicinal crops, being affected with many diseases, among which leaf blight caused by Alternaria alternata has become the constraint resulting in huge yield losses. Continuous usage of chemical methods leads to environment, soil and water pollution. Whereas biological control of diseases is long lasting, inexpensive, eco-friendly and harmless to target organisms. In this context, it is aimed to evaluate five Trichoderma strains viz. Trichoderma virens IMI-392430, T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431, T. harzianum IMI-392432, T. harzianum IMI-392433 and T. harzianum IMI-392434 as bio-control efficacy against A. alternata and growth promoting effect in Ashwagandha. All the Trichoderma strains had varied antagonistic effects against the pathogen. In dual culture technique, the strain T. harzianum IMI-392433 showed maximum percentage inhibition of mycelial growth (54.89%) followed by T. harzianum IMI-392432 (53.83%), T. harzianum IMI-392434 (48.94%) and T. virens IMI-392430, (43.62%) against the pathogen, while the least inhibition percentage was observed with the T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431 (36.60%). The culture filtrate of the Trichoderma strain, T. harzianum IMI-392433 recorded highest inhibition on the mycelial growth (39.05%) and spore germination (80.77%) of pathogen and the lowest was recorded in T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431 (20.45 and 50%). Moreover, seeds treated with spore suspension of the strain T. harzianum IMI-392433 reduced the percentages of disease severity index significantly. The strain T. harzianum IMI-392433 also significantly increased seed germination %, seedling vigor and growth of Ashwagandha. The correlation matrix showed that root yield per plant of Ashwagandha had significant and positive correlation with plant height (r=0.726^⁎⁎), number of leaf (r=0.514^⁎⁎), number of primary branch (r=0.820^⁎⁎), number of secondary branch (r=0.829^⁎⁎), fresh plant weight (r=0.887^⁎⁎), plant dry weight (r=0.613^⁎⁎), root length (r=0.824^⁎⁎), root diameter (r=0.786^⁎⁎), root dry weight (r=0.739^⁎⁎) and fresh root weight (r=0.731^⁎⁎). The significant and negative correlation (r=-0.336^⁎⁎) was observed with the root yield and percentages of disease severity index. The study recognized that the T. harzianum IMI-392433 strain performed well in inhibiting the mycelial growth and reduced the percentages of disease severity index of pathogen as well as increased the plant growth in Ashwagandha.

목련흰비단병균 Sclerotium rolfsii의 균사생장 및 균핵형성에 대한 thianine, biotin, nicotinic acid, Pyrido-xine, inositol과 DNA 및 RNA의 영향을 조사한 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 공시균은 thiamine 결핍균으로서 균사생장 최적 thiamine 농도는 20r/l이고 이농도를 초과하면 오히려 균사생장이 억제되어 150r/l에서는 무첨가구와 거이 비슷한 균사생장을 하였다. 2. 공시균의 생장에 있어서 thiamine의 첨가에 따른 질소원 이용도는 $NH_4NO_3>(NH_4)_2SO_4>asparagine>KNO_3$의 순위이며 질소원별 thiamine 최적요구량은 $KNO_3$인 경우 12r/l, asparagine인 경우는 16r/l정도였다. 균핵형성량에 있어서는 $KNO_3>NH_4NO_3>asparagine>(NH_4)_2SO_4$의 순위로 질소원별 thiamine 최적량은 $KNO_3,\;NNO_3,\;NH_4NO_3$가 8r/l에서 균핵의 대부분이 형성되나 asparagine은 16r/l정도였다. 3. 배양액의 pH는 공시균이 생장을 개시하자마자 3.5정도로 급격히 떨어지나 그 이후로는 생장량이 증가함에 따라 완만하게 떨어졌다. 그러나 pH2.2 이하로는 내려가지 않았다. 4. Nicotinic acid는 공시균의 생장 및 균핵형성에 아무런 효과가 없었다. 그러나 thiamine 10r/l와의 공존하에서는 다소의 효과가 있는 것으로 nicotinic acid 7-10mg/l에서 가장 생장이 좋았고 그 이상에서는 생육이 억제되었다. 5. Pyridoxine, biotin 및 inositol은 배지의 질소원이 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$나 asparagine인 경우 모두 공시균의 균사생장 및 균핵형성에 아무런 효과가 없었다. 6. 공시균의 균사생 장에 대한 각종 vitamin의 상호효과는 thiamine, biotin, Pyridoxine, inositol의 4가지 combination에 의해서도 thiamine이 첨가되지 않으면 거이 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 thiamine+pyridoxine, thiamine + inositol, thiamine + biotin + pyrid oxine, thiamine + biotin + pyridoxine + inositol 구에 있어서는 thiamine단독첨가구와 동등 혹은 그 이상이지만 thiamine+biotin과 thianline+biftin+inositol구는 오히려 떨어졌다. 균핵형성에 있어서는 thiamine단독구에 비하여 각구 모두 약간씩 증가하였다. 7. 공시균의 균사생장에 대한 DNA와 RNA의 효과는 무첨가구에 비하여 다소 인정되는데 DNA보다는 RNA가 좀더 효과적이었다. RNA는 2-6mg/l에서 DNA는 6mg/l에서 가장 좋았다. 균핵형성에 있어서는 효과가 없 었다. 8. RNA의 농도가 증가함에 따라 또 thiamine의 농도가 증가함에 따라 균사생장량이 증가하는 것으로 thiamine의 존재하에 RNA의 효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 그러나 균핵형성에는 효과가 없었다.
