could be used as a potential means of producing natural antioxidants and
antimicrobials. To obtain fungal
biomass in submerged culture is an easy and rapid method. For this reason,
biomasses of <i>Pleurotus </i> species which grown on liquid media were used to
prepare hot water extracts and their antioxidant and antibacterial properties
were determined. The highest total phenolic content was determined in <i>P.
ostreatus </i>extract (9.14 mg.g <sup>-1 </sup> dry weight of extract) whereas <i>Pleurotus </i> <i>sajor-caju </i>gave highest
reading of total flavonoid content (3.10 mg.g <sup>-1 </sup> dry weight of
extract). In
the scavenging effect of DPPH radical test, <i>P. sajor-caju </i> showed the
highest activity potential (69.67%). Mycelia extracts from <i> Pleurotus </i>species showed the antibacterial
activity against the Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria (plant and human
pathogens). Based on the results obtained, each extract from the five species <i>Pleurotus </i>
( <i>P. florida </i>, <i>P. citrinopileatus, P. sajor-caju </i>, <i>P. ostreatus </i>
and <i>P. eryngii </i>) showed antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and
could be used in the formulation of nutraceuticals. Furthermore, the
results presented in this work demonstrated that extracts were capable of inhibiting the <i>in vitro </i>growth
of <i>Helicobacter pylori </i>. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Özkan ÖZDEN}
