CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF FRUITING BODIES FROM TWO STRAINS OF Laetiporus sulphureus

摘要

The species Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.:Fr.) Murr., which belongs to the ecological group xylotrophs, is widely distributed in deciduous and mixed forests near Lake Baikal. This species is readily cultivated and colonizes both living and dead wood. It possesses pharmacological activity and; therefore, is promising for biotechnology development [ 1 ]. The goal of our work was to determine the fatty-acid, amino-acid, and elemental compositions of fruiting bodies of two strains of L. sulphureus.
