Fr.进行了固体培养研究，结果显示木蹄层孔菌的营养菌丝生长最适培养温度为28℃，最适培养pH值为7，最适培养碳源为蔗糖，最适培养氮源为蛋白胨。

中国多孔菌一新记录属——细长孔菌属

Leptoporus and Leptoporus mollis are newly reported from China, and the species was found on fallen trunk of Picea in Fenglin Nature Reserve of southeastern Heilongjiang Province. The illustrated description of the species is given according to the Chinese material. The distribution and ecology of the species are briefly discussed.

Screening for pectinolytic activity of wood-rotting basidiomycetes and characterization of the enzymes

Seventy-five fungal strains from different groups of basidiomycetes, newly isolated from rotten wood, were screened for pectinolytic activity. Despite the fact that basidiomycetes are scarcely referred to as pectinase producers, the polygalacturonase (PG) activity was detected in 76 % of the strains; 16 % with activity higher than 40 nkat/g, 40 % between 13.3 and 40 nkat/g, and 44 % with activity lower than 13.3 nkat/g. The highest productions were obtained among the fungi from order Aphyllophorales, family Polyporaceae. The characterization of the enzymes from the highest PG producers (Lentinus sp., Gloeophyllum striatum, Pycnoporus sanguineus, Schizophyllum commune) showed optimum temperature for catalytic activity at 60-70°C and two peaks of pH optimum (3.5-4.5 and 8.5-9.5). The enzymes exhibited high pH stability (3.0-11.0) but after incubation at 40°C for 1 h their activity dropped by 18-73 %.

Contribución al conocimiento de los macrohongos en la provincia de Tambopata -Madre de Dios, Perú

El presente trabajo de investigación es una contribución al conocimiento científico de los macrohongos de los Phyllum Ascomycetos y Basidiomycetos en el departamento amazónico Madre de Dios (Perú), investigación desarrollada en la región durante los años 2006 al 2014. Durante estos años se han recorrido las trochas de investigación dentro de las 6 áreas, seleccionadas según su grado de intervención antrópica, recolectando y fotografiando todos los carpóforos que en ellas se encontraban. Así mismo se ha realizado una revisión bibliografía exhaustiva para poder identificar a estas especies de los Phylum Basidiomycetos y Ascomycetos, fotografiando las esporas en los casos que esto fue posible. Las muestras fueron recolectadas en 6 áreas con diferentes grados de intervención humana, para poder determinar si se encontraba diferencia significativa en la composición de especies de Macrohongos entre ellas. Así mismo se consideró el tipo de bosque donde se encontraba la muestra y el sustrato donde se desarrollaba. Las muestras fueron buscadas y recolectadas en las dos épocas del año (seca y lluviosa), para saber si este factor climatológico era determinante y afectaba el número de carpóforos encontrados. Se han identificado completamente 70 especies pertenecientes a 25 familias, siendo la familia Xylariaceae la más representativa para el Phyllum Ascomycetos y la familia Polyporaceae para el caso del Phyllum basidiomycetos, resultando cinco especies nuevos registros para el Perú. De las especies identificadas 23 son de interés comestible, 13 son de interés medicinal, 2 de interés mágico religioso, 2 tóxicas, 2 micorrizógenas y de 30 especies no se conocen sus usos para la ciencia. Así mismo se identificó a 6 especies promisorias (géneros Auricularia sp. y Pleurotus sp.) para el cultivo con fines alimentarios de autoconsumo y la posible comercialización a pequeña y gran escala, puesto que estas especies promisorias transforman los residuos lignocelulosicos en alimento. Se ha confeccionado una guía de campo para la identificación de los macrohongos, sus usos y recomendaciones para su consumo, con lo cual queda abierta otra puerta de nuestra biodiversidad al interés científico, gastronómico y turístico. ABSTRACT This investigation is a contribution to the scientific knowledge of the Phyllum Ascomycetos and Basidiomycetos mushrooms in the Amazonian department Madre de Dios (Peru). The study was carried out from 2006 till 2014, during which forest study paths were crossed in six areas were all types of found carpophores were collected and photographed. In order to identify the Phylum Basidiomycetos and Ascomycetos species, an intensive biographical review was carried out and photographs were taken from the spores in case it was possible to assist the identification. Samples were collected in six areas with different human intervention and forest types so that any significant difference in the species´ composition could be analyzed between these different zones and between the species specific area. The samples were searched and collected during two different seasons (dry and rainy season) to analyze if this climatologically factor affects the number of found species. In total 70 species were completely identified, belonging to 25 families. The most representative families were the Xylariaceae for the Phyllum Ascomycetos and the Polyporaceae in the case of the Phyllum Basidiomycetos. Of all the identified species, 23 are considered edible, thirteen are identified as medicinal, and two are known for psychedelic and religious practices, two are toxic, two are mycorrhizal species and of 30 species the use is unknown to science. Five species are newly registered for Peru, Moreover, six species of the Auricularia sp. and Pleurotus sp. gender were identified as promising species for cultivation to serve auto consumption and possibly small and large scale commercialization. These species transform lignocelular waste in food. Part of this study was the development of a field guide to identify mushrooms and which can be used to open doors to our biodiversity for multiple interests such as scientific, gastronomy, and tourism.
