Abstract
The brown film (BF) of Lentinula edodes mycelium has been reported to exert biological activities during mushroom cultivation; however, to date, there is limited information on its chemical composition. In this study, untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed via liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), and the results were used to screen the antimicrobial compounds. A total of 236 differential metabolites were found among the BF stages compared with the white hyphal stage. Among them, five important antimicrobial metabolites related to antimicrobial activities, namely, 6-deoxyerythronolide B, tanikolide, hydroxyanthraquinone, benzylideneacetone, and 9-OxooTrE, were present at high levels in the BF samples. The score plots of the principal component analysis indicated that the samples from four time points could be classified into two groups. This study provided a comprehensive profile of the antimicrobial compounds produced during BF formation and partly clarified the antibacterial and antifungal mechanism of the BF of L. edodes mycelium.
