Hispidins

	Hispidins Hispidin is a natural substance. It can also be synthesized. Hispidin 4-''O''-β-D-glucopyranoside can be found in ''Pteris ensiformis'' whereas hispidin derivatives, such as phellibaumins, can be found in the edible mushroom '' Inonotus xeranticus'' or ''Phellinus''. Hispidin is a precursor of fungal luciferin, a compound responsible for light emission by luminous mushrooms.

	Pteris Ensiformis ''Pteris ensiformis'', the slender brake, silver lace fern, sword brake fern, or slender brake fern, is a plant species of the genus Pteris in the family Pteridaceae. It is found in Asia and the Pacific. Uses Beverages It is the most common ingredient of traditional herbal drinks in Taiwan containing different phenolic compounds : kaempferol 3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside-7-O- �-d-apiofuranosyl-(1-2)-β-d-glucopyranoside 7-O- caffeoyl hydroxymaltol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, hispidin 4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, kaempferol 3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, caffeic acid, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid. This plant is resistant to arsenic-induced oxidative stress. Benzoyl-beta-D-glucoside, as well as pterosin sesquiterpenes can be found in ''P. ensiformis''. Cultivation ''Pteris ensiformis'' is cultivated as an ornamental plant for tropical and subtropical climate gardens, and as a house plant. ;Cultivars * ''Pt ...

	Inonotus Xeranticus ''Inonotus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. The genus, described by Petter Karsten in 1879, is estimated to contain about 80 species ''sensu lato'' and 30 species ''sensu stricto'' (in the strict sense). The name comes from ''ino'' meaning ''fibrous'' and ''ot'' meaning ''ear''. Species ''Inonotus acutus'' ''Inonotus adnatus'' ''Inonotus afromontanus'' ''Inonotus albertinii'' ''Inonotus amazonicus'' ''Inonotus andersonii'' ''Inonotus arizonicus'' ''Inonotus australiensis'' ''Inonotus austropusillus'' ''Inonotus boninensis'' ''Inonotus chihshanyenus'' ''Inonotus chilanshanus'' ''Inonotus chrysomarginatus'' ''Inonotus clemensiae'' ''Inonotus costaricensis'' ''Inonotus crocitinctus'' ''Inonotus cuticularis'' ''Inonotus dentatus'' ''Inonotus dentiporus'' ''Inonotus diverticuloseta'' ''Inonotus dryadeus'' ''Inonotus dryophilus'' ''Inonotus duostratosus'' ''Inonotus euphoriae'' ''Inonotus farlowii'' '' Inonotus fimbriatus'' ''Inonotus fl ...

picture info	Phellinus ''Phellinus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. Many species cause white rot. Fruit bodies, which are found growing on wood, are resupinate, sessile, and perennial. The flesh is tough and woody or cork-like, and brown in color. Clamp connections are absent, and the skeletal hyphae are yellowish-brown. The name ''Phellinus'' means ''cork''. The species ''Phellinus ellipsoideus'' (previously ''Fomitiporia ellipsoidea'') produced the largest ever fungal fruit body. ''Phellinus'' species produce a number of natural chemicals which are of interest to science. These include the natural phenol hispidin, bio-active styrylpyrones called phelligridins, and bio-active isolates called phellinins. Uses In Australia, Aborigines have used ''Phellinus'' fruit bodies medicinally. The smoke from burning fruit bodies was inhaled by those with sore throats. Scrapings from slightly charred fruit bodies were drunk with water to treat coughing, sore throats, "bad chests", feve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Fungal A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Luciferin Luciferin (from the Latin ''lucifer'', "light-bearer") is a generic term for the light-emitting compound found in organisms that generate bioluminescence. Luciferins typically undergo an enzyme-catalyzed reaction with molecular oxygen. The resulting transformation, which usually involves splitting off a molecular fragment, produces an excited state intermediate that emits light upon decaying to its ground state. The term may refer to molecules that are substrates for both luciferases and photoproteins. Types Luciferins are a class of small-molecule substrates that react with oxygen in the presence of a luciferase (an enzyme) to release energy in the form of light. It is not known just how many types of luciferins there are, but some of the better-studied compounds are listed below. Because of the chemical diversity of luciferins, there is no clear unifying mechanism of action, except that all require molecular oxygen, The variety of luciferins and luciferases, their diver ...
