Fatty acid compositions of total lipid, phospholipid and triacylglycerol fractions of the wild edible mushroom pleurotus ostreatus and russula delica with cytotoxic activities on prostate carcinoma cell lines
(2019) Acay, Hilal; Baran, Mehmet Fırat
The aim of the study to investigate fatty acids (FAs) of Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica in Total Lipid (TL), Triacylglycerol (TG) and Phospholipid (PL) fractions. The major FAs of TL, TG, PL in both species were palmitic acid (PA), oleic acid (OLA), and linoleic acid (LA). In both species, total PUFA amounts were found to be higher than total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and total saturated fatty acids (SFA) in TL, TG and PL fractions. Also, insufficiently studied cytotoxic activity (using prostate carcinoma (PC-3) cell lines) of these mushrooms were investigated by using various solvent systems. Ethyl acetate extract of Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica showed significant inhibitory value at the concentrations of 520-530 μg/ml (99.45-92.82%) against PC-3 cell lines with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50); 274.53-297.77 μg/mL respectively. The present study is a guide for biochemical and nutritional values of both species and can be useful for further investigation on pharmacological applications.
Determination of fatty acid compositions of total lipid, phospholipid and triacylglycerol fractions of the wild edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica with cytotoxic activities on pc-3 cell lines
(2018) Acay, Hilal; Kaçar, Semra; Keskin, Cumali; Dündar, Abdurrahman
Fatty acids (FAs) of Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica were identified in TL (Total Lipid), TG (Triacylglycerol ) and PL (phospholipid) fractions. The major FAs of TL, TG, PL in both species were Cl6:0 (palmitic açid, PA), Cl8:1 n-9 (oleic acid, OLA) and Cl8:2 n-6 (linoleic acid, LA). In both species, total PUFA amounts were found to be higher than total MUFA and total SFA in TL, TG and PL fractions. The efficient production of the fatty acids especially linolenic and oleic acids which are majorly needed in building blocks of dietary human has confirmed these species as good source of nutrition. On the other hand, insufficiently studied cytotoxic activity (using pC-3 cell lines) of these mushrooms were investigated by using various solvent systems Ethyl acetate extract of Russula delica and, Pleurltus ostreatus showed significant inhibitory value at the concentrations of 520-530 µg/ml (99,45%- 92,82%) against PC-3 cell lines with IC50; 274,53-297,77 µg /mL respectively. Methanol extracts did not show any cytotoxic activity. lt has been found that the potential of cytotoxic activity is depended on concentration and solvent type of extracts. As a result, the present study is a guide for biochemiçal and nutritional values of the both species and can be useful for further investigation on plıarnıacological applications.
Biosorption Studies of Mushrooms for Two Typical Dyes
(Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry, 2020) Yıldırım, Ayfer; Acay, Hilal
This study investigated the adsorption behaviour of two cationic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) onto Pleurotus ostreatus, Armillaria tabescens, and Morchella conica mushrooms. The effects of contact time, initial dye concentration, and solution pH (3-11) were also determined. The adsorption on all mushrooms attained equilibrium within 120 min for both MB and MG. To evaluate the experimental kinetics data, the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion kinetics equations were utilised. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model demonstrated a good fit with all adsorption kinetics. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to analyse the mechanism of the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption equilibrium isotherm was in a good agreement with the Freundlich model. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH enthalpy variation, ΔS entropy variation, and ΔG free Gibbs energy variation were calculated at 303-323 K. The results suggested that the Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom was the most suitable adsorbent for both cationic dyes’ removal.
Kinetic and isotherm investigation into the removal of heavy metals using a fungal-extract-based bio-nanosorbent
(Environmental Technology and Innovation, 2020) Yıldırım, Ayfer; Acay, Hilal; Baran, Mehmet Fırat
Adsorption is very economical and environmentally friendly method that is commonly accepted as a promising technique for the removal of heavy metals. In this study a fungal-extract-based (FE-CB) bio-nanosorbent was prepared and used as an efficient biosorbent for the removal of heavy metals, namely Cu(II) and Ni(II), from aqueous solutions. FE-CB was characterized by scanning electron microscope, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area and porosity analyzer, Fourier transform infrared, x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, thermalgravimetric analysis and zeta potential. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, pore volume and average pore diameter of FE-CB were 7.43 m2/g, 0.060 cm3/g, and 2.82 nm, respectively. The adsorbtion properties of FE-CB onto both Cu(II) and Ni(II) were investigated in terms of biosorbent dosage, temperature, initial concentration of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions, pH and contact time in the batch experiments. The dependence of the biosorption mechanism on pH was revealed and the optimum pH was determined as 6 for Ni(II) and 5 for Cu(II). The Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal models and the kinetic Pseudo-first-order and Pseudo-second-order kinetic models were used to describe the adsorption performance of FE-CB. The activation energy was calculated by pseudo-second-order rate constants. In addition, thermodynamic parameters, standard Gibbs free energy, standard enthalpy and standard entropy were analyzed using the (Van't Hoff equation). The biosorption process was found to be spontaneous, favorable and endothermic.
Evaluation and characterization of Pleurotus eryngii extract-loaded chitosan nanoparticles as antimicrobial agents against some human pathogens
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020) Acay, Hilal; Yıldırım, Ayfer; Erdem Güzel, Elif; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Baran, Mehmet Fırat
With the increase of antibiotic resistance, which is present at a worrying rate, research on the use of newly developed nanoparticles as an antimicrobial agent with green biotechnology has intensified. The study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNP) synthesized using Pleurotus eryngii extract (PE). Characterization of P. eryngii-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (PE-CSNPs) was performed with Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, Field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, Differential scanning calorimetry, and zeta potential techniques. The FE-SEM images showed that the surface morphology of nanoparticles is similar to CS, but has more porosity network and smaller dimensions structure. The average particle size of spherical PE-CSNPs was obtained as 330.1 nm. The specific surface area and average pore diameter of the synthesized nanoparticles were found as 3.99 m2g-1 and 2.25 nm, respectively. X-ray diffraction determines the presence of an amorphous peak at 2θ = 21.2° results from CS and PE. PE-CSNPs synthesized using P. eryngii extract showed strong antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans as 0.0156, 0.0625, 0.0625 and 0.0312 mg ml-1, respectively. Thus, it was determined that chitosan nanoparticles formed by the green synthesis of P. eryngii extract showed strong anti-microbial properties.

(Wiley Online Library, 2022) Acay, Hilal; Derviş, Sibel; Güney, İnci Güler; Derviş, Sibel
Considering the damage caused by fungicides to human health and problems such as microbial resistance, biological control against plant pathogens has started to gain importance worldwide. This research demonstrates a new, simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing chitosan bionanocomposite (CBNC) from Morchella esculenta (L) Pers-extract (MEE). The antifungal property of the synthesized Morchella esculenta (L) Pers-chitosan bionanocomposite (MCBNC) against some plant pathogens was also evaluated. FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM, DSC, TGA, and BET were used to characterize the synthesized MCBNC. Mushroom-based chitosan nanoparticles were evaluated for antifungal activity against some fungal pathogens, including Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae, N. dimidiatum, Alternaria alternata, Verticillium dahliae, Bipolaris sorokiniana, and Colletotrichum sp. The findings obtained clearly showed that chitosan nanoparticles have antifungal activity. The results suggest that the chitosan nanoparticle can be used in the field to protect various crops from phytopathogens. Novelty impact statement Chitosan bionanocomposite (MCBNC) synthesis was performed for the first time using the wild mushroom Morchella esculenta, which has strong bioactive properties. It was observed that the bionanomaterial, which was characterized by FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM, DSC, TGA, and BET analyses, has high antifungal activity against plant pathogens such as Alternaria alternata and Bipolaris sorokiniana. MCBNCs synthesized by the green synthesis method can be an important area of use in the fight against plant pathogens, which corresponds to 1/3 of the world's agricultural production potential.

(Medicine Science, 2020) Acay, Hilal; Baran, Mehmet Fırat
Synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs) using wild edible fungi with environmentally friendly synthesis methods is more preferred because of the advantages it provides. The fact that its synthesis is easy, economical, non-toxic and has a wide range of uses increases the interest in this subject. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of biomolecular synthesized Pleurotus eryngii silver nanoparticles (PE-AgNPs) against human prostate carcinoma (PC-3), human cervix (HeLa) and breast carcinoma (MCF-7) cells. PE-AgNPs showed significant cytotoxic activity against HeLa, PC-3, MCF-7 cell lines, and also dimethyl sulfoxide solvents of PE-AgNPs applied for their metal chelating activity, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity and antioxidant activity using the β-carotene linoleate model system. Biosynthetic PE-AgNPs were found to inhibit the proliferation of PC-3, HeLa and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 2.185, 46.594 and 6.169 µg / ml, respectively, during a 24-hour incubation period. With the parallel of increasing concentration (1, 2, 5, 10 mg/mL) the activities were also increased at all the tests studied. At 10 mg/ml antioxidant activities were 82%, 85% and 77% for chelation of ferrous ions reducing power, DPPH scavenging and β-carotene linoleate tests respectively. The results show that PE-AgNPs may contribute to the development of a suitable anticancer drug that can lead to a new development of nanoparticles for cancer treatment. It also appears to be advantageous to use nanotechnology and green chemistry to improve the existing therapeutic properties of P.eryngii.

(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Acay, Hilal; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Arslan, Nurgul; Acay, Hilal; Hatipoglu, Abdulkerim; Boga, Mehmet; Yaprak, Bulent
Objective: Our aim in this study is, does 29-day regular consumption of Pleurotus ostreatus water extract by volunteer individuals who meet the study criteria have an effect on blood and cytokine values? Method: In accordance with the purpose of the study, volunteers were asked to consume 100 ml of the extract every morning for 29 days. Three tubes of blood samples were taken from the volunteers on the 15th and 29th days of the study. Biochemical and hematological analysis of the blood samples were performed and immunomodulatory effects through cytokines were examined. The values obtained from 3 tubes of blood obtained from volunteers before the use of mushroom extract were used as control. The chemical composition and beta-glucan content of 100 ml of mushroom water extract were also analyzed. Result: IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13 could not be detected because the values were below the lowest standard value. TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta 15th and 29th day values decreased compared to the 1st day (control) values (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference observed between the 15th and 29th day. No abnormalities were observed in biochemical and hematological values. Also, the beta-glucan content of extract was found 38.12 mg/100 ml. Conclusion: The frequency range of kidney and liver function test results confirmed that P. osreatus is a reliable food source. Considering the cytokine values these results indicate that P. ostreatus water extract has an anti-inflammatory effect. As no significant difference was observed in 29 days of use, it is thought that 15 days of daily consumption of the extract may be sufficient for the anti-inflammatory effect to occur. However, a large number of qualified clinical trials are needed to support the issue.
