PLNTPTH 2000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Cell Wall, Mannitol, Mush
Document Summary
In the middle ages molded bread was used to treat wounds: has been refined over the years though to be used more effectively. Injecting this kind of mold is actually not bad. Mitochondria know to travel to the tip because of filaments and water pressure. Remember: this is where all the growth is occurring. From vesicles, structural proteins have gpi anchor to hold to membrane lipids: cell turgor generated by glycerol, mannitol, and treehouse, additional proteins are deposited such as hydrophobias and, new branch"s created. Secretion: over 38000 vesicles fuse with the hyphal tip, gain and sustain energy by breaking down nutrients to metabolize. Which mushrooms have been studied: shiitake, reishi, maitake, lions mane, king trumpet, turkey tail, himematsutake, cordyceps. What makes them so valuable: beta glucans and proteoglycans are two of the top biologically active compounds in mushroom bodies and mycelia that support the immune system of animals.
