It has been well known that mushroom polysaccharide extracts have superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. So we studied the efficacy and anti-oxidative effect of mushroom(Auricularia auricula U.) in rats treated with water and ethanol extracts of Auricularia auricula U after inducing dryness of skin by the application of detergent. The results of the research for of the efficacy and anti-oxidative effect Auricularia auricula U. are as follows thats. Weight gain and feed intake in animals treated with water extracts and ethanol extracts are significantly higher(p<0.05) than animal treated with detergent. Animals treated with water extracts of Auricularia auricula U. compared to animals treated with ethanol extracts have the higher HDL-cholesterol levels in the blood and the lower LDL-cholesterol levels in the blood. SOD-like activity of the ethanol extracts of Auricularia auricula U. was $27.39{\pm}1.61%$ at 2000ppm.

This study was undertaken to investigate the inhibition effects of Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract in edible mushroom on lipid peroxidation and liver damage in benzo(a)pyrene(B(a)P)-treated mice. The activities of serum aminotransferase, cytochrome P-450, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and the hepatic content of lipid peroxide after B(a)P-treatment was markedly increased than control but those levels were significantly decreased by the treatment of Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract. Glutathione S-transferase activity and the hepatic glutathione content were decreased by B(a)P-treatment than control, but those were also inhibited by the treament of Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract. These results suggest that Auricularia auricula-judae methanol extract have a protective effect on liver damage by B(a)P.

목이버섯 3품종의 영양성분을 분석한 결과 유리당은 4종의 성분이 검출되었고, 그 중 trehalose는 $11.56{\pm}0.59$에서 $27.17{\pm}0.27mg/g$로 검출된 당 중에서 가장 많이 함유하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 갈색목이가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 유기산은 7종, 아미노산은 24종의 성분이 분석되었으며, 전체 함량에서 모두 흑목이가 가장 높게 나타났다. 그리고 유기산과 아미노산 성분 중에서 감칠맛을 내는 성분인 citric acid 및 glutamic acid, asparagine 등의 함량 또한 흑목이에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타나 천연 조미재료로서의 가능성을 제시하였다. 비타민$D_2$함량은 $1.66{\pm}0.1$에서 $5.43{\pm}0.08{\mu}g/g$으로 다른 버섯류에 비해 높게 나타났다. 식이섬유에는 3품종 모두 60% 정도의 함량을 나타냈으며, 품종 간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. ${\beta}$-glucan 함량은 갈색목이가 $25.21{\pm}0.37%$로 털목이나 흑목이에 비해 높은 수준으로 나타났으며 항산화 성분인 총 폴리페놀 함량은 털목이, 갈색목이, 흑목이 순으로 높게 나타났다.

The present study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of dichloromethane extract of Auricularia auricula-judae. Dichloromethane extract of Auricularia auricula-judae inhibited Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production significantly in a dose-dependent manner in the concentration ${\geq}\;10\;{\mu}g/ml$ (p < 0.05). Furthermore, RT-PCR results of this study indicated that the extract markedly reduced the expressions of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-$1{\beta}$) mRNA in LPS-treated murine RAW 264.7 macrophages, which could possibly ameliorate the inflammation. Nevertheless, dichloromethane extract of Auricularia auricula-judae did not show complete inhibition of IL-6 mRNA expression. The inhibition of IL-$1{\beta}$ cytokine at protein level was also observed in a dose dependent manner. In conclusion, the current study revealed the previously unknown effect of dichloromethane ethyl extract of Auricularia auricula-judae inhibitions of the production of NO, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-$1{\beta}$ in LPS-stimulated macrophages.

Auricularia is one of the broadly cultivated edible mushrooms in Korea. Most of the Korean Auricularia strains used for cultivation and breeding are known as A. auricula-judae. Recently, this species has been reported to belong to a species complex. Therefore, this study was carried out to genetically clarify the bred and cultivated Korean A. auricula-judae strains. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and IGS1 rDNA region sequences were determined from 10 A. auricula-judae strains by PCR and sequencing. Variation in the nucleotide sequence and sequence length of the two rDNA regions were found among the seven A. auricula-judae strains. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree based on the ITS sequences clearly placed all the 10 Korean A. auricula-judae strains in the A. heimuer clade of the A. auriculajudae complex. A. heimuer is diverged from A. auricula-judae. An ML phylogenetic tree based on the IGS1 sequences revealed the close relationship between Korean A. heimuer strains to Chinese A. heimuer strains. But each strain could be distinguishable by the IGS1 sequence. Furthermore, progeny strains in the seven Korean strains could be differentiated from their parental strains by the IGS1 sequence based phylogenetic tree. Our results are expected to be used to complement the distinction of domestic Auricularia cultivars.

Auricularia auricula (Heterobasidiae) called 'tree ear' or 'ear mushroom' was investigated to know its antidiabetic effect. Administration of dried powder of Auricularia auricula mycelia (AAM) (0.5 g/kg bw and 1.0 g/kg bw) caused a statistically significant reduction of plasma glucose (35% and 39%, respectively), total cholesterol (18% and 22%, respectively), triglyceride (12% and 13%, respectively), GOT (53% and 56%, respectively) GPT (26% and 37%, respectively), levels and the rate of liver weight against final total body weight (6% and 7%, respectively) compared with diabetic control group. These results support the antidiabetic effect of AAM.

목이(Auricularia auricula)와 석이(Gyrophora esculenta)로부터 각각 얻어진 메틸 알콜 추출물에 대하여 E. coli PQ37/pKM101 균주를 이용한 SOS chromotest 방법으로 시료자체의 변이원성 유무 및 4가지 양성변이원 물질에 대한 항돌연변이성을 검토하였다. 시료자체의 돌연변이원성 유무에 있어서는 SOS induction factor (IF) 값의 증감이 없었으므로 돌연변이원성이 없는 것으로 인정되었다. 4가지 양성 돌연변이원 물질에 대한 항돌연변이성 실험결과, 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO)에서는 목이, 석이 각각 52%, 59%의 억제효과를 나타내었고, N-methyl-N‘-nitro-N-nitro-soguanidine (MNNG)에 대해서는 49%, 58%, mitomycin C (MMC)에 대해서는 53%, 64% 그리고 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido-(4,3-b) indol (Trp-P-l)에 대해서는 각각 61%, 64%의 억제활성을 나타내었다. 이 결과는 SOS chromotest에서는 양성변이원 4종 모두에 있어서 돌연변이 억제활성이 인정되었고, 특히 석이가 목이보다 대체로 강한 항돌연변이활성을 나타내었다.

A dark brownish pigment from fruit body of Auricularia auricula was isolated and characterized in this report. The pigment was obtained with a yield of 0.61%(w/w) by alkaline extraction and subsequent purification steps. It showed the positive $FeCl_3$ test which was the indication of phenolic compounds. A synthetic melanin showed a similar spectrometric characteristics to the pigment extract regarding a characteristic UV absorption between 200-250 nm and infrared absorptions profiles in the finger print region including absorption peaks at 1701 and 1624 $cm^{-1}$. Its element analysis indicated that its atomic copmposition is close to that of DOPA melanin (eumelanin). With the result of its antioxidant activity in the TNBT (5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid) assay, we concluded that the dark brownish pigment from A. auricula is a melanin-like compound having a powerful antioxidative activity.

Auricularia auricula-judae is an edible mushroom, which is known as wood ear, free ear, black ear mushroom, and free jelly fish. This study was carried out to obtain the basic information for mycelial culture conditions of Auricularia auriculajudae. According to colony diameter and mycelial density, the media for suitable mycelial growth were PDA and MCM. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. Carbon and nitrogen sources were mannose and malt extract, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was in the range of 10 to 1 with 2% glucose. Other minor components for the optimal growth were thiamine-HCl and biotin as vitamins, succinic acid and lactic acid as organic acids, and $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ and $KH_2PO_4$ as mineral salts.
