In this study, we investigate the potential use of persimmon peels (PP) in mushroom culture medium for the production of functional mushrooms. Pleurotus eryngii was cultivated in medium supplemented with PP (SMPP) at the following concentrations: 0% SMPP (control), 5% SMPP, 10% SMPP, 15% SMPP, 20% SMPP, or 30% SMPP. The total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging ability, ABTS cation scavenging ability, and reducing power of P. eryngii cultivated in SMPP were investigated. P. eryngii cultured in 20% SMPP produced the highest values for all four measurements. Total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS cation scavenging ability, and reducing power all increased upon the addition of PP. Based on our results, we can conclude that persimmon peels are a highly valuable supplement for functional mushroom culture medium.

This study was conducted to investigate optimum conditions for mass production of ntagonistic microbes Alcaligenes sp. HC12. Alcaligenes sp. HC12 had a potent biological control agent to control browning disease caused by Pseudomonas agarici. Alcaligenes sp. HC12 markedly showed the antagonistic activity against Pseudomonas agarici, the most destructive pathogen of cultivated mushrooms.

This study analyzed population density changes and taxonomic characteristics of various microorganisms, which play important roles in culture medium fermentation of Agaricus bisporus and examined changes in decompositionrelated enzyme activity secreted by these microorganisms. Various microorganisms such as thermophilic bacteria, actinomycetes, fluorescent pseudomonas spp. and filamentous bacteria are closely related to culture medium fermentation of Agaricus bisporus. The population density of these microorganisms changes and harmful bacteria disappear during thermophilic fermentation. During outdoor fermentation, Psychrobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp. and Pseudoxanthomonas sp. showed the highest percentage distribution in the different culture medium while Bacillus sp. and Psychrobacillus sp. were the most dominant after pasteurization. When analyzing the enzyme activity of microorganism during rice straw fermentation, cellulose enzymes become important at the early stage of fermentation. Increase in hemicellulose enzyme follows after decomposing carbon sources. The microorganisms that secretes these enzymes were distributed at the second and third turning stage of fermentation.

생육실 내·외부 환경조건과 종균 배양 및 자실체 특성검 정 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 먼저, 종균 배양이 외부 온도의 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 배양실의 환경 조건(22oC, 65-68%, 700-1,200 ppm)을 일 정하게 하여도 외부 기온이 낮고, 건조해지는 1월(동절기) 에는 16-18일 가량 늦은 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 외부 기후에 따라 생육실 내부 환경이 영향을 받 아, 자실체 생장이 느리고 발생 형태가 다른 것을 확인하 였다. 동일한 조건(18±1oC, 85-95%, 700-1,200ppm)을 설 정한 생육실에서 재배한 버섯이 수량(무게), 길이(크기) 모두 1월에 수확한 버섯이 3월에 수확한 버섯에 비해 작 은 수치임을 확인하였고, 경도가 작아 품질 면에서도 양 호하지 못함을 확인하였다. 이는 1월 외부의 영하의 저온 과 60% 이하의 저습에 의해 생육실 내부 환경이 변화하 여 일어난 현상임을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 버섯의 특성은 일정 시일이 지난 후 외부 기후를 보완하여 실내 환경을 조절하여도 개선되지 않음을 확인하였다. 일정 기간이 지 난 후의 조치는 균의 노후화만 진행시켜 색만 변화할 뿐 크기가 커지거나 침이 형성되지 않았다. 그러므로 환경 스트레스를 받지 않도록 미리 예방하는 것이 필요하다. 환기와 생육관리를 위해 생육실 내부 환경이 외부로 노출 될 때, 외부 환경이 영향을 미치지 않도록 에어커튼 혹은 보온 커튼을 덧대어 문제가 발생하지 않도록 해야할 것이다. 특히, 동절기와 같이 외부 기온이 낮고, 습도가 낮은 시기에는 특별히 주의가 필요할 것이다.

The button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, is one of the major economical crops cultivated in Korea. This mushroom showed the 5th production to 11,493 M/T in 2014. Several fungus are known as the causal agents of diseases of the cultivated button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) and oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). Cladobotryum mycophilum is the causal agent of cobweb disease of commercial mushrooms. Early symptoms were noticed as round, fleshy, yellowish brown lesions on mushroom caps. Late symptoms progressed when the parasitic fungus formed white cobweb circular colonies on dead or damaged pinheads, spread on the surface of the casing, and covered entirely fruiting bodies. A Gram-positive bacterium was isolated from mushroom media that markedly showed the antagonistic activity against Cladobotryum mycophilum, the most destructive pathogen of cultivated mushrooms. The HC57 strain was selected as antagonistic bacterium by inhibition zone method and it was identified as Bacillus subtilis by the cultural, morphological and physiological characteristics, and analysis of the 16S rDNA. The isolated bacterium is saprophytic but not parasitic nor pathogenic to cultivation mushroom. The isolated bacterium for Cladobotryum mycophilum cell, was sufficient for inhibition in vitro. Inoculation of the isolated bacterium prevents the development of bacterial disease in Cladobotryum mycophilum. Control efficacy of browning disease of strain HC57 treatment was 71% on Agaricus bisporus. The optimal culture medium for the antagonistic bacteria growth was determined as follows: 1.5% Xylose, 2% Soytone, 1% NH4H2PO4, 7 mmol CaCl2, and 0.5% Histidine at pH 6.0 at 25℃. The suppressive bacterium may be useful in future for the development of biocontrol system and the construction of genetically modified edible fungi resistant to the disease caused by Cladobotryum mycophilum.
