Title

Impact of mushroom pleurotus ostreatus on synthesis of chitosan & its effects in antioxidant & antibacterial activity

Abstract

Chitosan extraction from fungi plays a major role in the world of industrial Mycology. Thus fungi are the promising alternative source of chitosan. Recent studies on exopolysaccharides and biopolymer from mushrooms have brought out many interesting biological activities. In the present study, research was made to isolate chitosan a biopolymer from edible mushroom like Pleurotus ostreaus which is commonly known as Oyster mushroom. The extraction of chitosan was done by three steps which includes deproteinization, demineralization and deacetylation. The extracted chitosan was analyzed according to its color, texture, nature and its solubility. The extracted chitosan was pale yellow in color and it is hygroscopic with flabby nature. Chitosan was soluble in 10% of acetic acid. The crude chitosan extract was measured for its maximum absortion by UV spectrometer and the maximum peak was observed at 252nm. FT-IR spectroscopy was also done to identify the structural groups present in the chitosan and was characterized in the middle region ranges from 1552-1639 Cm-1 in liquid form and 1566-1641Cm-1 in the form of powder. In vitro antibacterial screening of chitosan from Pleurotus ostreatus was performed against selected clinical isolates and the zone of inhibition was observed. This findings suggest that the Pleurotus ostreaus are capable of producing eco-friendly chitin and chitosan can be used in various fields such as nanomedicine, food industry, agriculture and in many research industries.
