endritic spines are actin-rich protrusions that are sites of excitatory synapse. Spines undergo molecular and structural remodeling during activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Changes in spine density, size and morphology are associated with information acquisition and storage and abnormalities in these properties underlie brain disorders. Subse...

The life cycle of the fungus Oudemansiella aparlosarca includes homokaryotic and heterokaryotic basidiospores with four nuclear conditions: non-nucleate, mononucleate, binucleate, and multinucleate. The number of binucleate cells was high in heterokaryotic hyphal cells, while that of multinucleated cells was high in homokaryotic hyphal cells. The p...

Sulphur shelf fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus) has so far been largely underestimated as a potential raw material for the food industry. Many studies have demonstrated that the extracts obtained from this mushroom and some of their components have positive effects on human health. They have antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer properties and regulate human metabolism and digestive processes. Water extracts also have this effect. In addition, the substances contained in this mushroom have the ability to preserve food by inhibiting the growth of undesirable microorganisms. These properties have led to the situation that in some countries, shelf sulphur fungus is legally recognized as a raw material that meets the requirements of the food and processing industries. This paper is a review of the latest information (mainly for the period 2016–2023) on the chemical composition and the possibility of using L. sulphureus in the food industry and in medicine.
... Different fruiting bodies extracts demonstrated an antimicrobial activity against the following strains: Bacillus cereus and B. subtilis, Micrococcus fl avus and M. luteus [35], Enterococcus faecium and Proteus vulgaris [36], Bacillus cereus, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Micrococcus fl avus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus [37]. Antifungal activity of extracts was described against: Candida albicans [35], Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus wentii, Fusarium tricinctum, Microsporum gypseum, Penicillium gladioli and P. griseofulvum (Sakeyan 2006), Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum [38]. ...
Mushrooms are a rich source of chemical compounds. Such a mushroom is also polypore Laetiporus sulphureus, in which a large number of bioactive substances with cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and antioxidant activity have been found. This short review summarizes the results of the most important chemical and biological studies of the fruiting bodies and the mycelial cultures of L. sulphureus. Since the ingredients of this edible mushroom have beneficial effects on human health, it could become a functional food.

The higher fungi are a rich source of chemical compounds with multi-directional therapeutic and pro-health effects. This review summarizes the results of the most important chemical and biological studies of the fruiting bodies and the mycelial cultures of Laetiporus sulphureus. Numerous studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial, anticancer, cytotoxic, hypoglycemic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of the extracts. Currently, only a few wood-decay fungi have practical use in medicine. Therefore it seems important to continue research on the effectiveness and safety of extracts and compounds of natural origin, including fungi, whose potential is not still used.

Laetiporus sulphureus is an edible wood-rooting basidiomycete. The nutritional and medicinal properties of this mushroom have long been known by traditional practitioners. The aim of this study was to determine the proximate composition, total phenol antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial activities of different extracts of L. sulphureus. Different extraction methodologies, including high energy techniques, were employed and their effect was examined on the activity of the extracts. Optimum extraction methodologies (classical and ultrasound-assisted) provided one fraction containing neutral and polar lipids and the other fraction containing fungal carotenoids and pigments. Fatty acid analysis indicated a predominant level of polyunsaturated fatty acids followed by saturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acids. Both the aqueous methanolic and water extracts contained higher TPC and showed better antioxidant capacity than the ethanolic extract. Irrespective of the type of extraction applied, L. sulphureus showed good antimicrobial activity against all the tested bacteria and fungi, being in some cases stronger than the used antibiotics and mycotics. Therefore, this edible mushroom could be considered as a positive candidate to be utilised by the food industry, not only for obtaining bioactive compounds to be used as natural antioxidants/antimicrobial agents, but possibly also for its nutritional value and health benefits.
