Extraction and analysis of indole derivatives from fungal biomass.
Journal of Basic Microbiology, 1994, 34(1):17-22.
(UI: 94267730)
Abstract: The occurrence and extraction of indole derivatives in six species
from four genera of higher fungi were investigated. By using pure methanol
for extraction of the mushrooms analysis revealed the highest
concentrations of psilocybin and baeocystin. The psilocin content of the
species was higher by using aqueous solutions of alcohols than with
methanol alone but was an artificial phenomenon caused by enzymatic
destruction of psilocybin. The extraction with dilute acetic acid yielded
better results than with the water containing alcohols. The simple one-step
procedure with methanol for the quantitative extraction is still the safest
method to obtain the genuine alkaloids from fungal biomass.
