Pleurotus sp is an edible mushroom, which contains essential nutrients and medicinal properties for living thing. Molecular characterization and genome differentiation of pleurotus sp. studied using gel electrophoresis, RAPD and PCR techniques. Separated DNA was amplified using internal transcribed spacer primers. 5.8s rRNA sequence submitted to Genbank for comparison and to obtain accession number. Differentiation and identification of Pleurotus sp found by similarity searches (Accession number: JQ740170 and JQ740171). Comparative studies have shown these two Pleurotus sp (spp1 & ssp2) are closely related to species, 95% – 100% identical, Pleurotus Citrinopileatus, Pleurotus populinus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus abieticola, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Pleurotus eryngii and Pleurotus sapidus. These Pleurotus sp have been studied for exhibiting pharmacological potential activities such as antioxidant, antitumor, immunomodulatory activity and hypocholesterolemic through sequence similarity, nucleotide composition, evolutionary studies, secondary structure prediction and conserved region. The study extended to identify the significance of species diversity and fungal samples among various applications. Pleurotus (sp) sample was subjected to identification of bioactive compounds by using GC-MS. In Pleurotus spp1: Pyridine- 3-carboxamide, 4-dimethylamino-N-(2, 4-difluorophenyl), Piperidin-4-carboxylic acid, Aspidofractinine-3-methanol, (2à, 3á, 5à), Indolizine, and 2-(4-methylphenyl)-. Pleurotus spp2: Imidazolidine, 1, 3-dinitro, Phenol, 2-methyl-4-(1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethylbutyl), and Squalene. Enhancement of more entries as well as sequence comparison and virtual screening might help researchers to acknowledge real world problems between cultivating nutritional, medicinal and poisonous mushroom.
Edible Mushroom, internal transcribed spacer, metabolites, pharmacological activities, species diversity
Mushrooms are having highly nutritive and medicinal values so now a day’s peoples are readily used to cultivate in controlled biological environment and it has been extensively used as food since ancient time (Sathyaprabha et al. 2011). Although, mushrooms are rich in proteins and fibers it contain low amount of calories and fat, in the presence of low fat, peoples are highly used the edible mushroom frequently (Manzi et al., 2001). Cultivation of Pleurotus spp1 and spp2 in different substrates. Spawn were prepared in three types of substrates such as sorghum grain, Paddy grain and Maize grain. For fruit body cultivation Paddy straw, Sugar cane trash, Teak Leaves, Black gram Pods, and Banana Leaves are the substrates. Paddy grains substrate was good in growing and gives high yield of mycelium when compared to the sorghum grains and maize grain (Sathyaprabha et al., 2011).
In the presence of good nutritive value of mushrooms, a remarkable progress required in the breeding of its new strains which results in difficulty of their identification. Need of advance techniques for species identification beyond morphological and physiological criteria, because these characteristics highly influenced by cultivating conditions were posed big challenge (Staniaszek et al., 2002; Iqbal et al., 2010) . The genetic diversity of mushrooms has been worked out using molecular markers especially random amplified polymorphic DNA (Staniaszek et al., 2002; Stajic et al., 2005; Ravash et al., 2009). RAPD is used to assess genetic similarity and phylogenetic analysis due to the simplicity in its methodology and utility (Gepts 1993).
(Ro et al., 2007) studied the diversity of Pleurotus eryngii using RAPD technique and its sequence analysis and observed that, grouping based on physiological parameters is closely related to RAPD based grouping. (Gepts, 1993) used randomly amplified polymorphic DNA technique to access the genetic diversity among 37 pleurotus species of mushrooms. In another study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was used to evaluate the genetic diversity among 45 pleurotus strains and found that, this technique was better than morphological analysis (Rajaratnam and Thiagarajan 2012). Identified and compared three medicinal mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum, Coriolus versicolor, and Fomes fomentarius) species from Korea based on nuclear large subunit rDNA sequences (Dung et al., 2012). Nucleotide sequencing of Termitomyces albuminosus (Lee et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2012) and Agaricus bisporus (Chen et al., 2011) among others was also performed and deposited into sequence database. Available sequence entry and information in genbank database for mushroom is not sufficient (Morin et al., 2012). A primer based on ITS region is rather useful for molecular characterization in fungi at the species level and within the species (Sudip Kumar Das et al., 2013; Williams et al., 1990; Chen et al., 2001). Keeping in view the usefulness of morphological and molecular markers, the present study was planned to investigate the genetic diversity among different strains of cultivated mushroom (Pleurotus sp.). Fragments of the DNA were amplified using ITS1 (Internal Transcribed Spacers) and ITS4 primers. The nucleotide sequences of mushrooms were matched from the available known sequences of genbank database.
Today, with the advancement of techniques and nutrient values mushrooms have occupied an important place in food in several parts of the world. We found that mushrooms are healthy foods, even though they are deficient in calories and fat and consist of about 90% water (Sathyaprabha et al., 2011). Mushrooms have been reported to be of therapeutic value, useful in preventing diseases such as hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, cancer and also having antibacterial and antiviral properties. Functional characteristics are mainly due to their chemical composition. Pleurotus sp were further studied for screening bioactive compounds and vitamins using GC-MS. (Suresh Lalitharani 2010; Sathyaprabha et al., 2011).
DNA extraction and isolation from mushroom fruit body
0.01 g of mycelium was grinded with mini grinder using 75 µl of STE extraction buffer (320 mM Sucrose, 10 mM Tris-Cl, 20 mM EDTA, 75 mM NaCl and 2.5 ml of 20% SDS) along with 5 mg of Polyvinyl pyrolidone and 0.1 g of silica powder, incubated at 65°C for 10 minutes. Centrifuged the sample at 13,000 rpm for 10 minutes. To the supernatant, equal volume of chloroform: isoamyl alcohol was added and repeated the centrifugation. To the aqueous layer, added 2/3 volume of isopropanol and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min. The pellet was washed with 70% ethanol by centrifuging and the pellet was dried, dissolved in 50µl TE buffer.
The DNA stock samples was quantified using UV spectrophotometer at 260 and 280 nm using the convention that one absorbance unit at 260 nm wavelength equals 50 µg DNA per ml. The Ultra Violet (UV) absorbance was checked at 260 and 280 nm for determination of DNA concentration and purity. Purity of DNA was judged by the optical density ratio at 260:280 nm. The DNA having ratio between1.8 – 2.0 was considered to be of good purity. Concentration of DNA was estimated using the formula. Concentration of DNA (mg/ml) = OD 260 x 50 x Dilution factor Quality of DNA was again checked by Agarose gel electrophoresis. The 0.8% Agarose was prepared (0.8 g Agarose power / 100 ml 1 X TBE), and was melted. 30 ml Agarose was poured into the casting tray. The gel was allowed to solidify and the comb and tape was removed. 1 X TBE (Tris-Borate-EDTA; electrophoresis buffer) was added to the chamber until the buffer just covers the top of the gel. The samples were loaded with Bromophenol blue loading dye, taking care not to puncture the well bottoms. The power pack was turned on and run at 100 V. The gel was viewed on a UV transilluminator after electrophoresis.
DNA Amplification
The DNA was used further for PCR amplification. ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) fragment was amplified by PCR from fungal genomic DNA using ITS-Primer “ITS 1: 5 ’-TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGG-3’ “,” ITS4: 5’- TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC-3’ “. PCR was carried out in a final reaction volume of 25 µl in 200 µl capacity thin wall PCR tube. Composition of reaction mixture for PCR is given in PCR tubes containing the mixture were tapped gently and spin briefly at 10,000 rpm. The PCR tubes with all the components were transferred to thermal cycler. The PCR protocol designed for 30 cycles for the primers used is given below. Deionized water 1 6.5 µl, Taq buffer without MgCl2 (10 X) 2.5µl, MgCl2 (15 mM) 1.0 µl, Forward Primer (10 pm/µl) 2.0 µl, Reverse Primer (10 pm/µl) 0.5 µl,Taq DNA Polymerase (5U/µl) 0.5 µl, Template DNA (20 ng/µl) 0.5 µl, Final Volume 25.0 µl. Initial Denaturation 95°C for 5 minutes, Denaturation 94°C for 30 seconds, annealing 55°C for 30 seconds, extension 72°C for 45 seconds, and final elongation 72°C for 10 minutes end.
Analysis of DNA Amplification by Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Loaded 5µl of PCR product with 4 µl bromophenol blue (Loading Dye) in 1.5% Agarose gel and ran the gel at constant voltage of 100V and current of 45ºA for a period of 1 hr 20 min till the bromophenol blue has travelled 6 cms from the wells. Viewed the gels on UV transilluminator and photograph of the gel was taken (Sudip Kumar Das et al., 2013).
DNA Sequencing
Amplified PCR product was purified using column purification as per manufacturers Guidelines, and further used for sequencing. The concentration of the purified DNA was determined and subjected to automated DNA sequencing on ABI3730 XL Genetic Analyzer (Applied Bios stems, USA).
ITS Sequence alignment and analysis
Each nucleic acid sequence was edited manually trimmed to remove unreadable sequence at the 3 ’and 5’ ends (considering peak and Quality Values for each base) using the sequence analysis tools. The edited sequences were then used for similarity searches using BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) programmed in the NCBI Genbank (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blastn) database for identifying the fungal strains (Accession number: JQ740170 and JQ740171) (Senthil et al. 2011).
Qualitative analysis for phytochemical constituents on Pleurotus spp1 and Pleurotus spp2
Aqueous extract of Pleurotus spp1 and Pleurotus spp2 samples were used to carry out the Qualitative analysis using standard procedures to identify the phytoconstituent as described (Sofowora 1993). Test for tannins: 0.5 gm of the fresh mushroom samples were taken in test tubes boiled with 20 ml of water and filtered. A few drops of 0.1% ferric chloride was added and observed for brownish green or a blue-black coloration. Test for phlobatannins: Deposition of a red precipitate, when an aqueous extract of each plant sample was boiled with 1% aqueous hydrochloric acid was taken as evidence for the presence of Phlobatannins. Test for saponin: About 2 gm of the fresh sample was boiled in 20 ml of distilled water in a water bath and filtered. 10 ml of the filtrate was mixed with 5 ml of distilled water and shaken vigorously for a stable persistent froth. The frothing was mixed with 3 drops of olive oil and shaken vigorously, then observed for the formation of emulsion. Test for flavonoids: 5ml of the diluted ammonia solution was added to a portion of aqueous filtrate of plant extract followed by the addition of concentrated sulphuric acid shown formation of yellow color. Test for steroids: 2 ml of acetic anhydride was added to 0.5 g ethanol extract of each sample with 2 ml H2S04. The color changed from violet to blue or green in some samples indicating the presence of steroids. Test for terpenoids: 5 ml of each extract was mixed in 2 ml of chloroform, and concentrated H2S04 (3 ml) was carefully added to form a layer. A reddish brown coloration of the interface was formed to show positive results for the presence of Terpenoids. Test for cardiac glycosides: 2 ml of glacial acetic acid containing one drop of ferric chloride solution was added to 5ml of the mushroom extract. Addition of 1ml concentrated sulphuric acid shown formation of a brown ring at the interface indicates the presence of cardiac glycosides.

Virtual screening
Till date, virtual screening of compound aids to identify their interaction with proteins. Protein-ligand interactions found by Insilico analysis will exhibit the potential of bioactive compounds and to obtain lead compounds rather than chemically synthesis. Out of 17, which are known as antitumor and anticancer agents through existing methods, piperidin-4-carboxylic acid and squalene, were taken (Fig. 4 & 5). Phenol used to treat and aid for microbial and fungal infection was shown in fig. 6. It is noteworthy that screening all metabolites on various medicinal properties.
Genomic DNA
Genomic DNA was extracted from harvested fruit body of Pleurotus sp (SPP1 & SPP2). Extracted DNA molecules were performed by Agarose Gel electrophoresis techniques. Genomic DNA was isolated from the fungal sample/culture provided. Its quality was evaluated on 0.8% Agarose Gel and a single band of high-molecular weight DNA was observed. ITS fragment was amplified by PCR from the above isolated genomic DNA. The PCR amplicon was purified by column purification in order to remove contaminants. Commercially available 100 bp ladder was used as standard molecular weight DNA. A single discrete band was observed when resolved on Agarose Gel (Fig. 1). Extracted DNA from the fruit body of Pleurotus sp mushroom subjected to nucleotide sequencing using ITS1 and ITS4 conserved primer stretches. The sequence was aligned using similarity searches algorithm and aligned sequence (~800 bp) revealed 95% – 100% matched score with Pleurotus sp (Fig. 2). Characterized Pleurotus spp1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/JQ740170) and Pleurotus spp2 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/JQ740171) based on phenotype, genotype and molecular data found that both were unique to each other (Fig. 1 & 3). In addition GC content of Pleurotus sp ranged from 44 – 45% with a constant ratio (Table 1). Subsequently, Pleurotus sp identical were retrieved for the phylogenetic analysis. Nine species grouped together one clad, pointing their diversification and resemblance (Fig. 3). A phylogenetic analysis- maximum-likelihood based on 5.8s rRNA was conducted to determine the relationship of Pleurotus sp with other medically important species. Except, sequence data of P. sapidus due to its long order in length.

Pleurotus sp was described as edible mushroom but the significance of species diveristy and nutrients , clinical values studied through amplification and ITS region sequence comparison. The ITS fragment of the genomic DNA of two edible mushrooms, collected from TNAU, Aduthurai, Thanjavur, India, was amplified using ITS1 and ITS4 primers and subjected to nucleotide sequence determination for identification of species. The amplification and sequence comparison uncovers species diversity and other species with similar molecular information for its domestication, characterization of nutritional value and medicinal benefits. Qualitative analysis made to estimate the pharmacological properties. By ranking strongly present, present and absent in 7 groups indicate that the availability and rich properties. Comparative study of the ranking method describes the abundance of flavonoids and steroids. The results obtained from GC-MS analysis is given in the (Table 4 and 5). Both pleurotus sp contains vitamins namely A, D3, E, K, niacin, pyridoxine, thiamine and riboflavin, were analyzed. Phyto constituents screened through GC-MS were studied for identification of compound nature and group. Chemical composition and secondary metabolites of pleurotus sp were studied. Totally seventeen metabolites screened were examined for different properties and grouped as those belonging to acids, alcohol, alkane, amides, esters, fatty acids, terpenoids, heterocyclic and phenols (Mohamed et al., 2014). Hetero cyclic compounds were appeared more in number than fatty acids, ester, aroma and phenols (Rivera et al., 2012).
Piperidin-4-carboxylic acid
Piperidin derivatives were found in GC-MS studies further investigated with virtual screening to access their potent as antitumor agent (McHardy et al., 2010). Here the complex structure demonstrated that how the piperidin derivatives bind to protein and inhibits. Interaction between the receptor and ligand studied based on substitution method ( McHardy et al., 2010) prepared piperidin moieties to verify it’s multifold with side chains (Fig.4).
Squalene
Squalene and squalene analogs studied by several techniques and found useful in cancer therapy. Still its availability and usage widens the research on the skin treatment (Huang et al., 2009) and cholesterol endosynthesis (Christen et al., 2015). Here supernatant protein factor (SPF) has modeled and studied for cholesterol endosynthesis (Fig.5).
Phenol
Phenolic compounds have known to possess medicinal values. (Alves et al., 2013) reported that phenolic compounds could be used for antimicrobial activity as activator and inhibitor. Especially for resistance bacteria, phenolic compounds had shown the high inhibition rate when compared to different concentration level. A Study and virtual screening carried out to negotiate the species diversity and medicinal properties among pleurotus sp. were available. Recent studies shown that heterocyclic and phenolic compounds, has more impact on cancer related studies.Sequence comparison and insilico analysis made it possible to explore molecules interaction with metabolites.
