“…In many agaricomycetous mushroom species, fruiting body development is under the control of light and provides a unique opportunity for studies of fungal photomorphogenesis. The effects of light on fruiting body development are different from species to species (for reviews, see Marsh et al, 1959;Eger-Hummel, 1980). In some species, light is required for all developmental stages of fruiting.…”

“…2). The importance of light exposure for morphogenesis has been reported in many basidiomycetes, which need exposure to light for fruit body formation in the perfect stage (Kitamoto et al 1968;Perkins and Gordon 1969;Morimoto and Oda 1973;Schwalb and Shanler 1974;Tan 1977;Eger-Hummel 1980;Geon et al 1995), and in many ascomycetes, which also require light for sporulation in the imperfect stage (Gressel and Hartmann 1968;Kumagai and Oda 1969;Tan 1977). These fungal developments by light exposure may be related to their photoreceptors (Briggs 1976;Tan 1977).…”

Phoma sp. FOM-8108, a producer of gentisylquinones, isolated from sea sand

et al. 2002

A fungal strain, FOM-8108, that was isolated from sea sand was found to produce gentisylquinone and chlorogentisylquinone, inhibitors of neutral sphingomyelinase. The fungus grew well under normal conditions, in the darkness, or on various agar media, but typical morphological characteristics were not observed to determine its taxonomy. Therefore, culture conditions were studied extensively, resulting in formation of a number of pycnidia by the fungus on the media containing seawater or on natural substrates such as hydrangea leaves, gardenia leaves, and rice straw under natural light or near-ultraviolet radiation exposure. Eventually, from the morphological characteristics of pycnidia, conidiogenous cells, and conidia, strain FOM-8108 was considered to belong to the genus Phoma. Culture studies showed seawater in the fermentation medium was necessary for the strain to produce gentisylquinones. Particularly, a full production of chlorogentisylquinone, which has a chloride ion in the structure, was performed in the medium with higher concentration (75%-100%) of seawater.

“…Action spectrum analysis indicates that blue or near-UV light is effective for fruit-body maturation in basidiomycetes (Morimoto and Oda, 1973;Eger-Hummel, 1980;Durand and Jacques, 1982). To date, genes involved in blue light reception and blue-light signal transduction have been identified and cloned in Arabidopsis thaliana and Neurospora crassa (Ahmad and Cashmore, 1993;Carattoli et al, 1995;Ballario et al, 1996;Ballario and Macino 1997;.…”

Isolation and characterization of developmental variants in fruiting using a homokaryotic ruiting strain of Coprinus cinereus

1999

Developmental variants in fruiting of Coprinus cinereus were induced by mutagenizing oidia of the homokaryotic fruiting strain CopD5-12 with UV light. Through screening of 2,696 isolates, 1,018 strains exhibited defects in fruiting and were classified into 8 groups: (1) knotless variants, which fail to form hyphal knots, the first visible sign of fruiting; (2) primordiumless variants, which form hyphal knots but fail to develop fruit-body primordia; (3) maturationless variants, which form fruit-body primordia but do not form mature fruit bodies; (4) elongationless variants, which form mature fruit bodies with short stipes; (5) expansionless variants, which form mature fruit bodies with unexpanded pilei; (6) sporeless variants, which fail to produce black basidiospores, resulting in fruit bodies with white pilei after maturation; (7) compound type, which includes variants exhibiting several of the phenotypes described above; (8) others, including variants that produce a "dark stipe" even under in light/dark conditions, which is formed under continuous darkness in the wild-type. Two elongationless variants were characterized histologically.
