Abstract(s)
A detailed comparative study on chemical and bioactive properties of wild and
cultivated Ganoderma lucidum from Serbia (GS) and China (GCN) was performed.
This species was chosen because of their worldwide use as medicinal mushroom.
Higher amounts of sugars were found in GS, while higher amounts of organic acids
were recorded in GCN. Unsaturated fatty acids predominated over saturated fatty acids.
GCN revealed higher antioxidant activity, while GS exhibited inhibitory potential
against human breast and cervical carcinoma cell lines. No cytotoxicity in non-tumour
liver primary cell culture was observed for the different samples. Both samples
possessed antibacterial and antifungal activities, in some cases even better than the
standard antimicrobial drugs. This is the first study reporting a comparative of chemical
compounds and bioactivity of G. lucidum samples from different origins.
