Synthesis of Polyacethylenes and Polysaccharides by Mushroom Ganoderma Lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst and Pleurotus Ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm

The purpose of the present work was to study the biosynthesis of various compounds of basidial xylotrophic mushroom Ganoderma lucidum and Pleurotus ostreatus, which were taken to the pure culture from the fruit body of the mushroom living on hornbeam and beech. Shown, that mushroom can synthesize various substances, which composed includes fractions differing in functionality. Among the found fractions, one relates to the polyacetylene (PA), which are characterized by a high degree of unsaturation, contain many double and triple bonds, and are well absorbed in the ultraviolet range.
